do i think there will be a FIRST in 10 years, for sure... do i think it will [ever] encompass every high school in America or any other country... No... not to be pesimistic, it is a great goal to attempt to reach every kid out there, i just don't think [1] first has the means of doing it (unless they got rid of kits
and somehow found a ladder style tournament that didn't take forever) [2] and then there is money... not every place out there has big companies it can bank on, or a wealthy school, or so on... i know there are teams now which are in this situation right now, but chances are not many schools are willing to go through the effort... nonetheless FIRST will be around in ten years and i am excited to see the types of chalenges there will be
