A Better Competition

[KenWittlief]

the only misgiving I have about this idea is

the seminars you are talking about, the kind of information that will be presented

will be most usefull to small teams

those small teams that are attending the championship, and participating in it, with only a few adults present

I cant imagine them being available to coach the team, help out in the pits, and attend any of these meetings or seminars

I know you started this idea as a reason or motive for more teams to attend the championship

but if you really want to have a learning forum, a way for people to have a FIRST Convention type of experience

then I think this would be better at some other time of the year

maybe in the summer? maybe early in the fall? during one of the breaks from school?

If you hold this during the championships, then the people there who really need it the most, wont be able to attend. They will be too busy with the competition itself. Could this be a separate event instead? Maybe an expanded version of the kickoff meetings?
