Re: Favorite part of regionals?
The people. FIRSTers are some of the best people in the world. Over the past year I've met hundreds of new people and made so many new friends. When I go to competitions, my favorite part is meeting up with them and catching up. Sometimes it's just a quick hug or wave as we're headed in two different directions with our teams, and sometimes it's sitting next to each other in the stands, watching matches together and analyzing the game. Always it's a joy to see familiar faces. And so much more fun to compete with and against teams when you are friends with people on those teams. The more people you know and are friends with in FIRST, the more your focus becomes competing with yourself.
