Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 International Game Piece Option
Hmmm,
If my magic wand's batteries were charged, in order to create game-piece stockpiles around the globe, I would send a dozen or so game pieces to whoever is the local FIRST representative in each country/region.
Then I would let them ship those stockpiled game pieces to the teams that want to "buy" them.
I wonder why that isn't happening? FIRST must have considered doing something like that. I would guess that the cost to FIRST would be modest.
Maybe there is just no no time available in this season's schedule? Maybe the local reps aren't actually "local"?
Maybe some other fly-in-the-ointment that I'm overlooking?
Maybe next year?
Regardless, the wand is currently dead. I hope the method FIRST announced works out well-enough.
