Very interesting. Does this mean that IFI has a vested interest in BEST? I for one would like to see a joint venture between both competitions.

At the least, I think IFI has an altruistic and a business interest promoting STEM programs. Best is a STEM program. A rising tide floats all boats.
However, like you I am unaware of a stronger connection.
BEST and IFI are on friendly terms – we’re both working toward the same goals. IFI hosts BEST registration on RobotEvents and we are now co-hosting their national championships. I’m really looking forward to seeing the BEST competition. There aren’t any BEST cells around here, so I’ve never seen a BEST competition in person, but the BEST people I talk to are big fans of their program.
Yea, now I wish we had done better at our local hub. It would have been cool to compete at 2 competitions at the same time.
I will give you my prediction as to who will be the winner: The team from Ambassadors for Christ Academy, and Witchita Home School as runners up.
