Re: 2005 Nationals

I am pumped for Nationals. But the question is, does my team qualify? It would be a sad way to go out, after being there at the start of my team in 2002-2003 and this year as a senior and never having the oppurtunity to go to nationals. I just hope we can raise enough in the bank so we could at least have an oppurtunity this year to go to Georgia if the robot/community service does not carry us.

I can tell you I had just as much fun volunteering at IRI as I did competing in any competition :)

Sorry, but I feel obligated to comment here. I know the robot commute for Houston sucked, but I have to point out that houston was planned on an extremely accelerated schedule after Disney booted FIRST. and it was FIRST's first attempt at holding a Champs outside of Disney. Atleast a Champs of any real size. So there were many, many growing pains, and I know for a fact that the committee in Houston worked very hard to make things happen and actually pointed out many of these issues ahead of time.

I also know that the Houston committee is very, very supportive of FIRST and is working to get FIRST to return as soon as possible, cause we think we actually have a very good venue here if properly utilized.
