soooo, what if some team was able to accquire a mall lot, and be able to design, build, and test their robot in front of a live audience! have video's running during the first part of the build season while designs are developing and during the construction phase audiences will be able to see what goes on in makine FIRST such a challenging program.
I know this is just a rough idea, but what do you all think?

Excellent idea! If there are several teams in an area, I would imagine that it would be even more fun - and a more attractive idea to the mall management - if three or four teams were all building their robots in the display area at the same time. The teams could "compete" to get the builds completed (which would add to the appeal for the "audience" of shoppers that would watch from the mall). But at the same time they could help each other during the build. In the past, there are several instances when teams worked together to form "meta-teams" that would share basic knowledge, techniques, fabrication abilities and strategies while still working on competing final designs (and no, I am not just talking about 254 and 60 last year - there were many others that did this in earlier years). This would be a great opportunity to form a meta-team and have them work together.
