roboticscom13 is an unknown quantity at this point
I liked Houston a lot this year for championships. I do not think that in the later years that Epcot will have the facilities to hold us. Anyway back to the point i had only three complaints....

1)The distance between the pits and fields and the distance between matches. I recall having one set of matches where we had no time to get to the pits, so i ran full speed from the outside of the field area and the pits to get a new drill motor and a new battery just to come back and not have enough time to change the motor.

2)The food. The food was way too overpriced and the quality was less than satisfactory, minus the Papa John's Pizza. I mean common 3.25 for a water. Enough said.

3)The 8in. of concrete with no padding. As being in the pits all three days and on my feet for almost the whole time my feet where killing me by the end of the day. The 8 inches of concrete floor with no give has to be changed.

Besides those three complaints I thought that FIRST did a good job organizing Championships this year. I could be wrong but wasn't there 5 divisions last year? Einstein being the extra division.
