Re: Elite (invite only) FIRST teams

FIRST (Yes, I know you already know this) is for Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. By having an "elite" team you definately will have the Recognition part covered, but your Inspiration will suffer horribly. I know that I personally would NOT have joined a team that had an "application" process, as it would have diturred me from the program by making me feel like there was such a thing as an person who is interested in, but unwanted by the FIRST program. When I joined my team, I could not tell you the difference between FRC and FLL, but am now a student leader/mentor and hold FIRST very close.
