Re: Championship 2008 - Atlanta - Your Thoughts Please
I'm paying attention to the FTC discussion. What I learned this past weekend, is that FTC deserves its time in the limelight to shine brightly and showcase the hard work, effort, and commitment of the students and the mentors to this program. I was in awe of the FTC teams at the Championship.
FIRST will continue to work to help improve all the competition aspects/events, I'm sure. There is always room for improvement and for flexibility in working with the growth factor of the programs. It's a good problem to have.
Several students and college mentors found their way over to the FTC and FLL pits and were astounded at what they saw. Each said that they remembered when they were on teams and could not believe the size of the pits and how awesome they were. It was pretty spectacular.
