This is a great reason to try again. What went wrong last year? What should we do different this year to get the standard defined clearly and adopted? Maybe a catchy name and logo would help (think about Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI, USB...)?

One idea already mentioned in this thread that I liked:
Compile a list of teams that commit to implementing the standard. When you get to the regional, you'll know what pits to visit for compatible minibots / hostbots.
