Re: Championships in 2017

I've only experience Champs twice ('09 and '15) and let me start by saying, no one knows what Champs will be like in 2017. Yes, it will be divided but I would expect the atmosphere and level of competition to still be very good. Of course a lot of teams you normally would see every year there, you won't and we don't know yet which one teams will be going to but until we actually experience it, we can't judge it.

Now that that's been said, in my opinion, I think it will be the same. FIRST will do their best to make it feel the same at each one and I hope they mix up the competition so we don't get one Champs being better than the other but I'm sure it will happen a few times. I'm curious to see how it will work in Houston. The weather here is so bipolar and it can rain in an instant. Looking at how the setup be, I'm curious how they plan to transport robots and pits to Toyota Center and Minute Maid Park if it's raining.

I don't plan to make judgement until I've experienced it. I just hope my team isn't locked to only attending Houston every year.
