Re: [FVC]: Longer competitions

It seems to me that FVC teams had a rough Championship; I couldn't imagine only four matches. I think that even if everyone opts out of lengthening the other competitions, the Championship should still be a little longer.
Especially with VEX being in only its 2nd official year, teams need more time to gain more experience. I participated in VEX during the pilot season and we went to St. Louis. I think, at the time, that was one of the nearest competitions. I think we just need to let it grow a bit, expand competition sites, and see where it goes from there. Most of it is going to depend on participation, and what seems to fit well with this program.
