Where will FIRST be in 10 years

Since FIRST started almost a decade ago, it has grown so much. It started from a couple dozen teams to over 1100 teams now. Now Dean Kamen wants to have a FIRST program in almost every high school.
If FIRST does reach this goal, there would be so many teams in each state. Do you think that FIRST Competitions would be reorganized the same way that football or basketball seasons are. Right now in Michigan, football is played at a local level or Districts, the winners of districts move on to regionals and so on. With the mass amount of teams in each state, do you think FIRST would have to do the same thing, play in Districts and advance vs how it is right now where teams from Michigan can travel to Ohio to play teams and what not. Or will we just see a lot more regionals.

Do you also think FIRST will grow to become a full blown international contest such as the Soccer World Cup or the Olympics.

Since FIRST impacts middle school and high school students. Could it also have a challenge for college students, were students have to find a solution to a real world problem.
