Pros- More students are exposed to engineering
- More teams in FIRST ... closer to "filling the stadium"
- Another chance to solve the vision challenge
- More time for teams to mentor during the build season
- Rookie teams have a head start on paying for next year's registration fee
- Game Designers get a year off ... kinda
- Field elements are already built
- FIRST has time to concentrate on other things like VIMS & kit parts
- It lets us play the best game (x 10) in FIRST's history
- FIRST makes lots of money to do other things
Cons- Regionals will be packed with teams and excitement
- We have to play a similar game
- We have to do our homework
- FIRST has to have 300+ kits in inventory
What pros & cons can you think of?,
