Re: [FRC Blog] Two Championship Survey Results and Path Forward

Had I not known what the venues were, or were they to tell me to disregard the venue choice, I may have answered differently, but as it is cost isn't a big factor when the only difference will be whether we'll be 10 hours away in intense humidity, or 10 hours away in a just-thawed city.

This also brings up an interesting point: Had this survey been given out before the announcements, I guarantee we'd see a different set of responses, and some different priorities (cost reduction would've been higher priority, and one true champion would've been less important).

I hope the committee will come up with a solution for region locking so that I don't have to go on vacation to California and Washington to see some inspirational teams and my skunk buddies...
