Re: New FIRST competition structure in Michigan

I'm feeling a little apprehensive about this. Obviously the growth of FIRST is always a great thing, but as has been said, locking teams into this system was not welcome by everyone. I also feel that making FIRST into more of a varsity sport than a professional one is anticlimactic, since there is nothing higher in the hierarchy than FRC and it should be treated as the best of the best. If people want to encourage growth in FIRST, IMHO, they should have continued with FRC being in its current regional-championship structure and made the smaller FTC into a varsity-type sport which could lead up to FRC teams.
