Well, it will never happen, but I am happy to see the growth of FIRST because it tells me that the sciences are still respected in the US.

Heheh I know I am going on a physics feild trip tomorrow and only physics students are allowed to go. My mother asked how many buses are there and I said three coach buses. She was amazed.

The only chance that FIRST ever has of getting a team in each school is to get the schools to sponsor the teams. I played hockey growing up and I know that the budget for a high school hockey team is about $25,000 to $30,000 per year (it varies by a number of factors, but this is typical). If high schools foot such a large bill for a sports team, why not for a competitive team related to math and science? (Actually, they don't do it now since the demand isn't there yet, but that's where TV exposure and such comes in - but that's another topic.)

Our team's actually in our school budget. Unfortunatly our team is in New York so we are not going to be there for very long.
