Just a thought:
How about creating NY FIRST (New York FIRST)? What would this do and what would be its purpose? (general)
1. To Bring together all New York Teams
2. To educate the public about FIRST and teach its mission
3. To help start new FIRST teams (FLL, FVC or FRC)
4. To help struggling teams still be able to participate
5. To create a better FIRST experience
What things would be done? (examples)
1. NY wide fundraising for teams
2. To create more Regionals and off/pre season events
3. A place to help FIRST students get internships
In case you couldnt figure it out, this would be for NY teams, whether it be FRC, FLL or FVC teams.
This would help expand FIRST to those School Districts that may not have the neccesary resources to create teams.
What are your thoughts on this?
(more info will be posted soon)

This would most likely be run by Rochester Area Teams (because my team is located in rochester and would be easier to run working with local teams) but i would like reps. from around NY (at least one from every team)
Info will be available at NYFIRST.team1591.com soon (this is not a site yet) i will post when this site is up
PS: this is an idea from my head, not from my team, do not contact them about it only me!
