Re: Future First Championship News
I dont like this at all:
1. being in CT we can't even afford to go to st. louis, so yes detroit is slightly closer to us, but is it close enough to really make a difference in cost. probably not.
2. if we do go to championship in detroit, chances are ill never be able to see 148, 118, possibly even 254 at an event.
3. championship is best out of the best. would basketball have an east coast championship playoff and a separate westcoast playoff. declaring two champions.... absolutely not then the questions is going to arise who is truly the best robot in the WORLD the west coast team or the east coast team. from a fan's perspective who has no knowledge of first what are they going to think of this?
2012 the last year we went to championship was one of the best event of my life, not because of the location, but because we were able to walk around see teams from all over the world, and how their teams differ from ours. And the fact we were able to be nationally ranked among the top team in the world.
finally they are concerned about getting more teams to go, but do all the teams deserve to go. Yes it would be great for the students to gain the experience but would the championship then be the best of the best, do all 32 nfl teams make it to the playoffs no.
so im not sure how i feel about this seems like a 2nd mistake.
