FIRST and BEST are too different philosophically and organizationally to merge, really. Like I said, BEST is all about no-cost to teams, which is good for getting teams, but necessarily limits the scope of the competition. BEST also is much less centralized than FIRST and mostly works better that way. They both do their jobs quite well, and I don't really see the need to merge them. Nobody like monopolies, right?
