I'd like to say, I entirely agree with you, and thank you for posting your thoughts so eloquently (as you certainly can state it better than I can).

As much as it'd be nice to have a FRC team in every highschool, I don't see it ever happening. According to google (I'm getting several different figures) there are 15,000-20,000 High Schools in America. I'd love to see the day where we have that many FIRST teams in the us alone, along with the district/state/world champion structure. But I just can't imagine the economy supporting that many teams.
