Re: Proof that districts work: PNW

Personally, I liked the districts because the increased number of matches really tested your team's design. A chassis or end effector that may have withstood 10 matches may not be able to stay together after 50 matches, and it really challenges the students to build more robust robots or at the very least make spares of everything.

I also have to say that I was really impressed with the quality of the coverage provided in the PNW districts. Some matches were uploaded to Youtube within hours of being played, which was really great for analyzing our strategies before eliminations.
