Hat's off to everyone who has created the Nations first real robot league. It's somthing we obviously need.

But care should be taken to ensure it's sanctioned by FIRST and the FIRST organization is involved.


I see this because of the situation in Texas. Today there is a league, program, non-profit org (call it what you want) called BEST. They have over 40 teams and have generated a lot of excitement. It all came from a few FIRST teams that wanted a cheaper alternative to FIRST. So they broke off and created their own thing.

If care is not taken the Oakland League may gain momentum and people will think why be part of FIRST. Let's just have our own events and league. If FIRST then lost all of you wonderful folks that put this together what would happen. Most of you are the strongest, most enduring maintainers of the FIRST program.

Just food for thought.
