How do you think FIRST should select divisions?

[Andy Baker]

FIRST should have the 4 field m/c's draw teams from a hat during a nationally televised event on 4/11. Blair, Marc Leon, Dave V., and Jeff Seaton would all be on the webcast supporting their respective Championship fields. Each would draw a team, randomly, like a lottery ball.

Once the fields are filled, each m/c could comment on who would be the favored teams and the darkhorse teams from their field.

Dean, Woodie, Paul Shay, and Dave Lavery could include their commentary also.

We could see commercials from IFI, FedEx, Autodesk, and AndyMark.

Someone from the Atlanta visitors bureau could give us a virtual tour of downtown, showing all of the teams where to unload their stuff and where the celebration party will be. FIRST administrators could briefly review the schedule for each day, pointing out the highlights of the event, the Conference sessions, VEX challenge, and FLL competition.

Unique (Isreali, Brazillian, all girls, etc.) teams could be spotlighted.

This could be done during a hour show, on ESPN.

.... hey, a guy can dream, can't he?
