 The major items of FIRST are still what they always were.....understand the game, build a reliable quality machine to play it, train you drivers to use it to its full potential. If you do these things, you can win with or without any specific machine feature. - Jim Zondag [more] |

Re: Arizona gets half million to create new teams!
I am excited that Arizona has received a grant for new FIRST teams. I would like to see a FRC team in every high school. There is another side to the grant. We lost two of our sponsors this year. Both of them told us that they were shifting the funds to other activities since the grant money is available. The grant money is available only to new teams. Veteran teams are left to fend for themselves. Each year it gets a little harder to raise the funds necessary to not only compete but also assist the new teams. Once again, I am all in favor of growth, but not at the expense of losing the foundation of FIRST, the veteran teams. Publicity that is good for some teams, may not be as good for others.
