Mission Plan ?!?

Well, I wrote out a really long thread, which somehow hasn't made it up yet, so, here in a nutshell is what I said:
  1. Don't bite off more than you can chew: specifically, you need to write a program that can incorporate new robots and playing fields regularly.
  2. FIRST has a successful structure because it attempts to create a partnership between corporations and students.
  3. Get Epic to assist in this endevour to build FVG
    1. Don't ask for too much, instead, ask for them to help you make a FVG based on the Unreal engine.
    2. This proposed FVG would not be playable as anything but FVG, and would not be moddable except to add bots.
    3. Epic would get lots of good press, and you would get a spectacular game engione
  4. Finally, you would be the people not who failed to build a FIRST game, again, but who moved the paradigm of the FIRST architecture into a whole new field.
