Sometimes I wonder If people on CD still don't know how home schooling works :rolleyes: Don't worry. It's not just this instance that I'm talking about.
Other than that, excellent quiz.

I think that before 1996 the event in Manchester was called The Competition, and of course it was the only one.
If you go back to TBA and check the years you are correct. It is only called the National Championship when it is moved from New Hampshire to Florida in 1995.

Florida??????

90% (well, 85%; I read the rebound rumble question too quickly because it looked really easy ::ouch:: )

Epcot Center, Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida. Home of the FRC National Championship from '95 to '02.

This time period is the ONLY time period where Gregor cannot comment when somebody refers to the Championship as "nationals". BTW, just to annoy him: I did in fact attend Nationals in 2000. ;) :p I also attended Championship from '03-'07 (Houston and Atlanta--in fact, this question is the only one I missed, partly because I forgot about Atlanta).

At Dean's speech at Purdue last season I believe he referred to the pre-96 competition as the "championship...because it was the only event".

80%. I didn't know that champs had been in TX (got all the others; knew that the first one was in NH and it was at Disney, Atlanta, and lately St. Louis). I also left off "false" on the Killer Bees question; read the question too quickly and only selected one answer.

I think of Lunacy as dodgeball...

I kind of think Aerial (Assault) Assist was a little like dodgeball. Ask Dean Kamen about dodging soccer balls in Breakaway...

Edit: almost forgot: 100%

I'm from Michigan, so one of those questions was very easy :D
