Sergey Brin (of Google fame) spoke during the finals about how Google might help FIRST during the off-season. He talked about how great everything was, but how do the robots feel? After the season and all, they just sit in a closet or something--so why not run a Golden Ball relay across the country? The robots get out, meet some other robots, get some fresh air...you get the idea.
