Previously, I was as skeptical as Jason was, but after looking around I think it could happen.

Sure there are plenty of obstacles keeping this from happening, but I do think it's in the realm of possibilities.

Now if you have some constructive criticism (and not just criticism) we'll be glad to hear it and discuss it.
I think the point of the post was to show that FIRST has been known to abandon their comfort zone to undertake new ventures. You may not want to hear Greg's point, but telling him not voice it because you don't like isn't helping anyone.
