Re: FIRST Festival of Champions
It's great to see that FIRST came up with a solution that will be implemented the same year as the split championship system.

For outsiders, I really hope that the Festival will air on TV considering the finals are an All-Star type of competition and (sort of) showcase the peak of performance out of all the teams in FRC. What would be really cool is if FIRST could also air the presentations/videos of the two CMP Chairman's Award recipients to show support for both the robot and their highest award. Maybe they could even sprinkle in a sort of ESPN-esque season recap featuring match footage from each week with commentary from GameSense.

There's a lot of opportunity to turn the Festival of Champs into a great TV special for STEM and FIRST.

Also, will we see certain festivities such as Scholarship Row, CMP Panels, Intro/Closing Ceremony Bands, etc be hosted at the Festival rather than at each respective Championship?
