I actually worry that if FIRST could double in size it might actually cause more harm than good if they don't get more sustainable to the people doing it.
Picture what happens when you take a body of people that large and put them in a situation where they get dragged, and sometimes must neglect, certain things like taxes and personal expenses because of the fiat situation FIRST creates.
What good is twice the number of teams with less quality and quantity of mentors?
I think we put too many eggs in one basket and if FIRST still won't change; the way people engage with it needs to change.
I am just not sure that FIRST is yet important and visible enough (since it's not in all 50 States) to make society change around it.
