Just a cautionary note as we discuss this -
while this is a welcome opportunity and initiative, nothing has been said as to addressing any of the actual mechanics of it that I'm aware of. We should be careful of unfounded speculation when discussing it.

As John says, the FRC program is rigorous and the teams that form must be able to be self-sustaining with the support of mentors, sponsorships, facilities, and interest.

I'd like to thank the members of FRC 3005 for hosting this press conference at their new STEM academy high school and also, FRC 148 for being there. You guys always put the p in professional and represent the robotics community and specifically, FRC, well.

Jane
