Can you believe there are tons of mentors in the area who want to delay this region's districts to 2016?
We're on the waitlist for Chesapeake - we wanted North Carolina or Palmetto since we haven't been to either, but both were totally full at 12:08 when we were able to get on for round 2. I was hoping to be able to get to see some old friends who now mentor teams attending Palmetto.
Thankfully 2014 is the last year the teams around here have to deal with the race to a 2nd regional. Yet even with that good decision for next year, it's undermined by the fact that FIRST put the Philly FTC Super Regional on the SAME GD DAYS as the DC regional. If FIRST ever wanted to send a message about what teams should prioritize, that would be one. We have some tough decisions to make in the coming weeks, and other FRC events being jam-packed doesn't help at all.
