[Robby Unruh]

After attending Buckeye my rookie year, I was all about the competition side of FIRST. It wasn't until I attended another regional (Boilermaker in Purdue) that really opened my eyes. The thing about Buckeye is, it's been going on for so long, and there's a completely strict schedule going on over there, extra emphasis on strict.

Buckeye is incomparable to other regionals. It is hands down one of the most competitive regionals in FIRST.

And about the FMS problems, 3266 tirelessly tried to help their neighbors 276 with their problems since Thursday evening. It wasn't until Saturday morning that a FIRST official finally came and told them their router's converter was too close, sending off some kind of signals, which was found to be complete bs after comparing our robot with theirs. (our converter was pretty close, if not closer to our router than theirs.) Buckeye will always hold a special place in my heart as the first FIRST regional I ever attended, but I really think they had some major flaws to work out with their support staff this year.
