This is about the smartest thing FIRST has ever done at CMP, despite the issues.

1. How many students' lives will be changed forever by seeing Will.i.am perform? (In person or on TV)

2. How many students' lives would be (and have been) changed forever by seeing/driving/cheering on the machine that they spent nearly 4 months designing, building, and perfecting perform on an actual NFL field in front of thousands of onlookers?

If one single student is robbed of #2 because of #1, then FIRST has its priorities inverted.

(Yes I know that every team will get the chance to be in the dome at some point, but not every team runs the same drive crew or has an ideal robot performance every match)
