Re: What can FIRST do to increase FRC team sustainability?

1. Some how prevent main one mentor teams from burning out.
2. Teams having trouble in there school system, a escape route to any kind
of building. With money or without money given to secure building. Like 4
months rent, if not free.
3. 10 or more central locations having a full size field set up on day one of
build season. Minus electronics.
4. 10 or less equipment hubs open to any an all teams. Good for that snowy
week to bring your robot into.
5. Allow some events to in whole or in part keep same 3 teams on same
alliance side. Put these 3 teams together in pit area. If this would be to
big a can of worms for all my friends here. You tell them, that they can
do it for one season only. Then they must get a divorce. At a later time
they could get remarried. We would not want to create any more power
house alliances around the neighbor hood.
6. FIRST website you can navigate in 2.5 seconds.
7. Allow that 12 year old motors to pass inspection. Oh that's right it happen
to us on a Friday night after passing inspection. Lead Inspector comes
around. What you got there boys. I won't mention any names.
I could think of more later. Thomas (just give me crabcake) McCubbin
