Ahhh it's definately not only you Dave, I never made it to Epcot last year at the Nationals because I was there number 1 to support the team and number 2 to see the fantastic work of every other team out there. We already noticed this year that since we are an even team and the trip isn't automatic some of the dead weight has disappeared (BOTH students and engineers) and I say FINALLY! The people that were looking for a free trip didn't deserve it, the people that really wanted to be there for the reasons I think FIRST stands for really could care less if the roller coasters aren't the best, that's pretty far down on the list of concerns as it should be.
There is still allot of time left before the event, I hope some of the people out there would appreciate the chance to even go to a Nationals event a little more. I can't even tell you how many teams I know of that only wished they had a sponser, or better yet the money to go to Nationals where ever it is. This year we will start helping 3 more teams that had sponsers go out of business or not have the extra budget to support a team. NONE of those students are complaining that Nationals has moved I assure you.
If we win a reigonal (crosses fingers) and are able to go, I will be proud to visit Texas (Nicer weather & less clouds than Detroit)and I will enjoy the event no matter what happens. Every team should also.
