heh guess its a big deal to call it nationals still, i thought it still was, but this was my first year so didn't really know :P

Re: Nationals are crazy
 

In our organization we've started saying "Worlds" for two reasons:

1. "Worlds" is much shorter than "Championship Event."

2. We think our sponsors will be more impressed knowing we were invited to the world championships.

It's about the marketing, my friends. No bucks -- no Buck Rogers.

This thread could really be a fun thread that talks about rookie impressions of their trip to Nationals/Championship/Atlanta.

It is such an incredible experience with so much to absorb and so many wonderful people and teams to meet. I hope the rookies who traveled to Atlanta had a chance to visit the teams in the pits and swap buttons and stories. There are so many oooooh aaaaaaaah moments and memories to be shared.

I enjoyed hearing Ira Flatow call it the "World Robotics Championship" during his NPR Science Friday show last week.
