My team interviewed regional coordinator Jim Beck and asked him about a College First. He hinted that they are in the process of making it. You can see the interview for yourself at
youtube.com/mortorqtv in episode 4 almost halfway through.
I would love to continue participating in FIRST once I graduate high school. If FIRST does not offer a college level competition I am going to mentor a team and volunteer at a regional. I think FIRST at the college level could provide more role models for high school students and create more enthusiastic mentors. Not all engineering majors had the opportunity to participate in FIRST when they were in high school. All the different colleges in a university could work together to make one robot.
Being from Southern California, I would love for USC to get involved if the competition is taken to the next level. I'm already a huge Trojan fan. Fight On!
