Re: Should FIRST expand beyond robotics?

Clarification:
I would like to see FRC bring in more resources, recognize the valuable role played by the non-technical mentors and show more support for the business side of running a team. For example, I met a judge at a regional who had written a great little book on the critical steps to starting a business. He had some great ideas to help FRC.

My experience has been teams need just as much help with fundraising and marketing in order to have a successful team as they do needing help from technical mentors.
