Re: Worcester FIRST event?
Count another vote for leaving the thread open. FIRST doesn't really owe us an official explanation for anything ever, other than to stay within the bounds of 501(c)(3). However, it would be very helpful for those of us who believe in FIRST but aren't familiar with the specifics of FTC if someone more familiar could explain the purpose of the Affiliate Partner system, particularly why it would be structured in such a way that seems to discourage students (most notably in Michigan and near Worcester) from participating. I suspect that that's the source of frustration for many; a lot of us volunteer a lot of time to expand the reach of the FIRST programs, so it seems reasonable to search for answers when FIRST makes decisions that counteract this.
