[Burmeister #279]

So i've never been to EPCOT, nor WDW, nor any other FIRST event minus championships and GLR last year, so i'd like to throw the idea of FIRST building their own place. in order to not have to rebuild it in less than 5 years, it would not just have to contain the 400+ FRC teams, FLL teams and FTC teams, but it would [eventually][probably] have to contain 750 teams at some point at least and most likely 3 or 4 times the number of FLL/FTC. the only way to not have this massive number of teams would be to completely reorganize the regional structure, and any changes in that [as i believe Andy said] would mean there would be MANY MANY teams that never go to atlanta. there are some that haven't been now but they have more opportunities to go than if the team limit is strictly 400 while the number of teams has grown [this year alone] by 600 [if i remember correctly]. FIRST is supposed to be about learning/education and not about going to championships... but how are you going to keep companies funding and students/mentors interested if they don't even get a snowball's chance in Equador of an opportunity to go? For now, Atlanta is fine. but always think of the future
