Seriously, I think this is a great idea, my only complaint, is that there's so many of them. There shouldn't be any more competition over this scouting program vs. that scouting program, the award for the scouitng program was given out last year, and there's no point to be competing over the best program.
As strange as this may seem, I think the head of one of the scouting programs should step up and create an organization for scouting outside of their team.
Teams would be recognized the same for contributing (even the team the head was from), but it also puts them all on the same level, instead of getting people upset because even though they contributed their team wasn't as recognized as the team that organized it.
FIRST is very good about giving space for booths, and I really think that a non-team affiliated organization would be the best way to go to assimilate all this wonderful information into a central location for all teams to converge and communicate efficiently.
Is this a good idea? Bad idea? Please don't hate me for going against the idea of team-affiliated organizations. It's just an idea of mine that I've been mulling over lately, and feel free to pick it apart.
