Re: If FIRST didnt return???
I agree with everyone.
Right now, Oakland County (in Michigan) has a fall season which prepares all the FIRST teams in the area for the experience of FIRST. It is called the Oakland County Competitive Robotics Association (OCCRA), and is very similar to FIRST in that the games consist of alliance vs. alliance, balls and/or ramps and/or goals, so on and so forth. The only way it differs it that robots are required to be 100% student-built.
Seeing this, I'd most likely react to FIRST being stopped by continuing to promote it through OCCRA. If all the teams involved in OCCRA did so, we would hope that we could provide an example for the rest of the nation and "rebuild" FIRST.
