It's a nice idea but I don't think it'll ever work. Frankly, I don't know much I could deal with something harder than FIRST (it gets harder?!). Being in college, I find FIRST plenty challenging still. Also, there are many engineering competitions for college students such as Formula 1, Solar Car, and Moon Buggy (even if they tend to be more automotive based -- or that may just be RIT). Also, FIRST is about pairing students and mentors -- a college level competition is going to be much harder pressed to find the mentors (professors? engineers? half the students qualify for engineer). I also think that it will never happen because Dean wants to see college teams (which are a good idea) so will never create something to distract from that.

Matt who's proud to be a FIRST-a-holic in College
