As a member of an FTC team I would say that Competing in the Georgia Dome is a great part of competing in Atlanta. I can take from your post that you have never been part of an FTC team. FTC is already looked down upon by FRC and some may say FIRST doesn't really care about FTC. Dean Kamen never comes into the FTC Pits. He only speaks for about 5 minutes at the opening ceremonies.
If FIRST were to move the FTC fields out of the Georgia Dome I my team would almost more than likely not attend the World Champs. Why would the team pay a $1000 entry fee, and an extra $1500 on transportation just to compete in what would just be another regional.
I'm jsut saying FTC teams do get a lot out of competing in the Georgia Dome. it's on of the few perks the FTC gets that FRC gets also.
If your goal is to make it to Einstein someday, someday you'll have to reach for the stars. It's just that the stars get a lot closer when you spent the offseason developing a rocketship. - BJC [more]
