On the rare occasion that the information is presented - like it will be in a workshop in Georgia - it's only for a limited audience and the presentation isn't preserved anywhere. I have yet to see a resource that's got anything close to comprehensive information, so I've got an idea...

We need to create a website somewhere, a repository of FIRST information. Rules, videos, images...whatever's available would be fair game for the site. Some of the information would be much easier to come by - the recent match scores and team lists are still available on the FIRST website. Other information, most likely that for the older competitions, would be harder to find. Still, a site like this would be great for the FIRST community and would make researching the event's past much easier.

Just an idea...odds are I won't be able to follow through on this due to lack of time. Still, if anyone has the time and motivation to do it...by all means, go for it.
We have video of previous competition. All the way back to '92.
