I'm a big fan of competition and choice.

It makes me insane when I hear a school administrator say that you cannot do X because we already do Y. And too often it is from an administrator that doesn't know the difference between X and Y.

FIRST and SkillsUSA are different and they overlap, and both should be vigorously supported.

I'd like to go visit next year.

edit: FIRST and SkillsUSA are different beasts with different goals. So the comparisons are a little Apples and Oranges because of the different goals. That said I'm a big fan of competition, and organizations observing and learning from each other in order to better accomplish their defined missions.
