I also voted to keep it as FIRST. It's had a 10+ year run, there is no need to change the name. The name perfectly describes the program, acronym or not. Besides as someone mentioned earlier, FIRST is not a product to be packaged and sold. This is not a touchy-feelly program designed to make everyone feel good. Its an program to inspire and introduce high schoolers into what engineering actually is. The competition itself is only a side-diversion. The real goal of the program is to inspire high schoolers into fields of science and technology.

Let's not let the FIRST program turn into a post-modernistic ideal. It is not something to be bought and sold. It's something for the students, for their futures. Let's not trample on that ideal.
