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
Here's what I'm seeing here: You think the program would be designed to that only people who are already in FIRST would want to join. Not so. The entire point of the thing would be to take a FIRST team, which is already awesome, and make it slightly more professional. Part of the team would involve active recruitment, as well as program longevity. It's just like any company; if not enough applicants apply, the company will go out and market itself to workers in the field.

If I'm wrong, please correct me... I get confused by my own words a lot.
