I agree with this. It is a different sort of thing since robots firing frisbees at the speed of light into a tiny slot that is fifty feet away is almost inherently more fun to talk about than that science fair you demoed at. However, I know that at FLR 340 won CA for what felt like forever years in a row, and when they didn't it was 1511. We used those teams as our standard. We knew that we probably wouldn't get up to that level in only our 3rd and 4th years as a team but we still strove to get as close as we could.

I know that outreach is one of my favorite things to talk about at competitions and I always love talking to the judges about it, but I have a feeling that for most of the students participating outreach seems a bit more boring. I like your thoughts on trying to create more of a game out of it because while it is not strictly within the "spirit" of outreach in terms of why you are doing it, I think that in the case the ends would justify the means.

Does it really matter what tactics we use to spread FIRST as long as we keep it in a positive light and get it to grow as quickly as possible?

Also, congratulations to 2809 for winning FLR CA this year. You guys are great.
