SO GOOD! Food and service! We walked in with about 50 people, and we all had food in 15 minutes - not to mention the employees there are super friendly. Definitely make a stop there if you get the chance.


My tip would be to make sure that those working in the pit don't get stuck there the entire time. There's so much to see, do, and experience at champs - and yet it's really easy to miss it all by working on the robot the entire time. Make sure they sub out and get time to visit other pits, collect pins, watch matches, but merch, etc. Champs is a blast!


Also, have some sort of scouting plan in mind - maybe a collaboration with other teams. Last year 4814 ended up as the first (second maybe?) seed in their division, and they hadn't been scouting (they were a rookie team playing defence - they never expected they would be picking). Needless to say they had a mad rush Friday night/Saturday morning trying to whip a plan into action.
