Houston vs Orlando
this is my third year with first. I've been to nationals all 3 years. I think that there are both positives and negatives about each location.
starting with orlando:
now the whole orlando scene I may not have much crediblity in becuase the 2 years I was there my team didn't buy the whole package we always did our own thing, which by the way worked out great. there was so much stuff in the area to keep you busy(Fun Spot and Wonderworks are highly recommended)... I also really liked the Einstien field. I read that some of you didn't. I like being able to relax outside and still be able to watch the competition, I mean come on thats the reason we're there in the first place. really the only negative I have about orlando is the prices... which you're going to find at any venue we might end up at.
now Texas being fresh in my mind has a little more likes and dislikes... probably more dislikes.
number one dislike being of course the hike between field and pit...
then the amount of space at the stadium... talk about wasted space... I heard comments from a couple people suggesting that if it is in houston again, then maybe have 3 fields (einstein being one of them) and pits for those fields in the stadium.. and then 2 fields and their pits in the astrodome... only problem with that being (are you ready for this) having to walk the hike just to get goodies from the other pits... might make it seem like 2 separate events...
I didn't like that I had to stay inside to see robots... exspecially with the air conditioning forcing me to keep my sweatshirt on...
I didn't like that the screens weren't at the fields... but then again I did like that I could just look up and watch other matches while my field was resetting...
I didn't like that there was only 2 pay phones in the stadium... as opposed to orlando where they have the 2 carts that have like 8 phones each... (sorry I don't have a cell phone)
I did like that in the pits there was room to test new changes... I also liked that you could go up in the stands and look out over all the pits... that was just an amazing thing to look out and see all those teams working all at the same time...
the list goes on... those are just the small ones
