As the number of FRC teams grows FIRST has become aware that the current FIRST model may not work if we had a team in every school. In Michigan, we already have three regional events and many Michigan teams still have to travel out of state to compete because our events fill up. Scheduling of the regional events is an issue, two of the Michigan events had to be back to back this year. If we are able to use high schools as venues, it opens many possibilities, including low cost events.
