- Western PA (counties west of Harrisburg) is not part of MAR. Will a similar boundary exist for Maryland and Virginia? Teams in these areas are geographically closer to the regional events in Pittsburgh and Knoxville.

First off, nice showing at Chesapeake, 122! Loved the knight costume and your team was positively awesome.
But back to the reply. That's probably a really good point that I hadn't thought about as a student. The leadership is going to have to make some decisions about that. I think the Maryland area still has a lot of room to grow, and while the Northern Virginia area has been around since forever, there is far more room for Virginia as a whole to grow as well.
I came up with a question just now, for teams that have actually participated in a district, actually. About how much time is there between matches? Like, if something on the robot breaks, is there much time to fix it?
