Re: Is there usually this much frustration?

I also heard from someone involved with the FRC in Michigan, that for the MI State Championship FIRST is tied to a union who provides all the sound and lighting. At first, I didn't believe it, but after going to Atlanta last year and seeing that the t-shirt making company who was running the gift shop was from New Hampshire, I started to believe it.

Can anyone confirm this? And if this is true, then U.S. FIRST needs to be re-branded as "US" FIRST.

Also, I'd like to point out that smaller district events are not lame AT ALL. Instead they foster a kind of localism which allows teams to get to know each other better. The result is actually an even more intense competition where participants feel more involved.
