My reasoning ("connection") is that It seems like you would fail to inspire people who were not already headed in that direction. FIRST is designed to GROW as well as IMPROVE the fields of science and technology. It seems like your team would only be covering the IMPROVE part.

I would like to see your REASONING as to why I am incorrect. Do not get me wrong, the prospect of an "elite" team is intriguing to me, as I am sure it is to everyone, but, as I said, I dont see it in line with the principles of FIRST

No need to be so bitter, either. What I said was my opinion of how your theoretical team would relate to FIRST principles, and I was not in any way calling you out or accusing you of something that deserved any heated replies.
