Re: [FRC Blog] Two Championship Survey Results and Path Forward

This doesn't mean I support two championships, but it does mean that if there are to be two, some presence of the whole progression of programs seems valuable.
I enjoyed the brief tour of the FTC pits I got, but I was only able to go over to Union Station (taking one of the shuttles) because our FRC team was working on the FedEx Innovation Challenge which required us to go over there to complete a task. Otherwise I would never have bothered to visit. That's not being mean-spirited, it's just that I didn't even really know that FTC was going on over there until I got off the bus and walked in, and even if I had, it's far removed enough from the FRC "campus" that it was quite a bit of effort to get there, and between our matches and the conference sessions and Scholarship Row and the Innovation Faire and that darned merchandise line-up, I probably would not have been able to squeeze it all in.

Was the reverse true for FTC? Did a lot of the students make the shuttle trip over to check out what was going on in FRC?

And, this being my first year seeing it -- were FRC and FTC always this physically separated?
