Re: Future Championship Poll
I like having one set of world champions. I aspire to be one.
I hate the "everyone's a winner" mentality.
I don't like splitting teams along geographical boundaries.
I don't like splitting teams between two world championships.
I don't like the community not being consulted about this decision.
I'm relatively neutral on the locations, as it does make travel slightly easier for NY teams.
I would advocate for a Districts->DCMP->Super Regionals-> Worlds setup as well, with the goal being to up the ante on how impressive and inspiring DCMP and Super Regionals can be.
I also think DCMP should be free if you qualify.
As for the current state of being stuck with two events due to signed contracts starting in 2017- maybe we can make one of those events FLL/FTC, and the other just FRC? I don't know what other solutions there could be, but I think we , as a community, can try to find one.

There's no feeling quite like that one you get when you're behind the diamond plate controlling a metal beast that you've put your blood (literally), sweat (more literally), and tears (probably literally) into, and it working. Undescribable. - scali [more]
