Re: Should FIRST expand beyond robotics?

I suppose other engineering-based types of competitions could be used as a model. Maybe introduce smaller versions of some of the college-level competitions like solar powered cars/aircraft, mini-baja for rc cars, rocketry, etc.

Science competitions based on social networking experiments like the Darpa Red Balloons.

I hope it wouldn't compete with current events, such as Science Olympiad, but would organize something completely different.
