Re: 2017+ Championship Venue Details
To echo what Josh said, buying into what mainstream media tells everyone about Detroit is not a good thing to do at all.

Re: 2012 Awards/Trophies
^That's exactly what I was thinking. The Vex awards are simple, yet still look professional and industrial. Another good example would be 2826's awards, which is just a piece of sheet metal with...

Re: 2011 Curie Division
It appears I have missed a lot while in St. Louis, and it's probably a good thing. I really hope Curie teams weren't swayed into a negative opinion of 573 due to the posts that were deleted.

Re: Here's the problem with the minibot
I agree. The endgame is absolutely awesome this year. It flows with the game and it leaves people sitting on the edge of their seats. It's just what an endgame should be.
