Re: FRC in China discussion thread
I'd be interested in the community's opinion about expanding FRC to China in a big way.
On one hand it's a good way to build transnational relations with one of the biggest economies on the planet. Increasing communication and ties between our counties is a good thing, much like having Chinese students come to western universities is positive.
The contrary view is that China is significant competition to the west. FIRST was originally founded on the idea that we needed to step up our game in order to compete. The URL is usfirst.org, after all. Having a huge China FRC presence would consume FIRST resources and donations not to mention slots at championships.
Well reasoned thoughts would be interesting to hear.

Take it from a team that mastered tank treads and still hasn't built them in over a decade - it's not worth it. - Isaac501 [more]
