Re: Texas FIRST teams doubling in 2 years
Would it have anything to do with the difference between an organization and a business?
It is obvious that people have very strong opinions about the robotic competitions that are available. Here in Texas, there is another strong competition that is deserving of attention and monetary support - BEST. For that matter, there are several robotic programs in Texas and all have value and are capable of making inroads into the deficit that we face nationally regarding math, engineering, problem solving, science, and technology and people moving into those fields.
I'd hate to see this thread turn into another discussion arguing and/or promoting one competition over the other. It's very clear on where several people stand - consistently so.
