You do have the same thoughts. to do alll this work and then tell the kids sorry you can't go to the big dance. What is that saying. I have said this in alot of my replys in differnt threads. Our school is now getting funds to do Battelbots. It is a lot cheaper and I have all year to work on the robots. Plus there are 3 competition we can go to. The cost it takes to go to the second regional in FIRST we can use that money to travel to the 3 events that battelbots have. PLus it is easlier to get money for BattelBots.

I like FIRST I have lived with all the task they have given us. But this one broke the camels back. I know of other teams that we help to get into this Have left FIRST. I would like to know how many teams that are not coming back. If FIRST wants to grow they have to keep the people they have.
