Do you feel that FRC is approaching a point where the barrier to entry for rookie teams is going to be too high to create rookie teams sustainably / maintain veteran teams?

Along the same vein, is saturation of resources, both in terms of team financials and in materials, something that needs to be addressed now (is it a thing right now?) One of the major issues I've heard teams in rural areas complain about is that there simply aren't enough sponsors or money in their region in general to fund a team beyond their rookie years.

Do you personally feel that a higher level of competition, along the same spirit as FRC, but with the intent of being made for "TV" or online to cultivate the "inspiration" portion, would have a place in the FIRST family?

What, right now, do you see as the biggest issue hindering the progress of FIRST & FRC? How do you see it being resolved, if it can be at all?
