Re: New FIRST competition structure in Michigan

While I can sit here and post about 1,000 whats ifs on the subjuct and pros and cons here is the bottom line. Kudos to Michigan teams for trying something like this its probablly one of the only states that could pull something like this off currently. Also remember this is a "pilot" a experiement no more, no less if it turns into a diasaster FIRST can and will stop it. I will agree that there are many details that need to be worked out to implement this all over the country, but as someone stated previously in this thread FIRST has been using essentially the same regional system since 1992. So I do think it's time we've at least tried something. As a Florida firster I can sympathize with many of the struggling and rookie teams in MI as Florida has plenty of extint teams and teams that need major support to keep going. Finally, we should try to increase the return on the invesmesnt for everyone isn't that a good thing, last time I checked it was in my book.

Thats what I think Mr.Lavery ,
Drew
