Starting your own FIRST College Program (FIRST Conference)

This is AWESOME! I won't be able to make championships this year, but I'd be more than happy to help out with this if you need people.

It would be the best thing ever to get FIRST at a college level. Not only would it make a great experience for college students, but also push college students to mentor FRC/FTC/FLL teams. Based on the college people I've talked to, after High School they got out of FIRST, albeit the occasional event volunteer or rare time to mentor a team. A FIRST event at the college level will keep these students involved.

With FRC we're trying to make robotics the "new cool" amongst high schoolers. Let's try to make tens of thousands of people gather around a college stadium to watch robotics the same way people will travel with their alma mater's football team to watch one of their games.

Plus, we've seen the benefits in High School students. Just imagine the benefits a FIRST game at a college-level will have for the engineers/NES (Non-Engineering Students) of the future.
