Imagine that the FIRST year was not 12 months...say it was 36 or 48 months....during which time we would recruit new teams, partner with new institutions and yes like the race car folks...sell old robots when we thought we needed to build new ones... It;s about more choice and flexibility...not about winning...we are not wrapped up in winning....we do it for the educational benefits... some teams do it for the inspirational benefits...We actually do FIRST cause it helps our students get into engineering school...we have that well documented... What I am proposing makes that MORE possible...not less...so please maintain your point of view. Please stand by your attachment to changing the game every year... But think about what you would say to another person who is MORE into it than you...what if someone proposed we play twice a year and change that game twice a year?????? So all I'm asking is that we do not hold 12 months sacred....who said 12 months was a inviolate number...why not 6 months? Or more sanely,,,why not 36 or 48? I invite all of you to look outside the box just for a minute...and tell me what you see? Am I Alone in the woods? Mr.B |
