This is absolutely great news, RI only has 3 FIRST teams, this will definitely help to bring more into the state. Wow, I am impressed, this is a pretty big thing for RI and FIRST.

(As a note I am sure that this is in a big part to Representative Langevin from RI who spoke at both the Boston Regional and at Nationals. He was genuinely impressed by the program. My Dad ran into him at work one day and was introduced, When my dad mentioned that they had met before at a FIRST competition Langevin began to talk about FIRST to every one around, telling them how the program is what we need more of in the state/country. Langevin is one of very few politicians I have met(and I have met my fair share of them) who impressed me as being a genuine person.
