I am all for FIRST having an extra event but it seems like there is mixed messaging. Is this to crown the FIRST champs or is it just an exhibition with other cool activities going on?
Well, why can't it be both a crowning of champs and an exhibition of cool STEM stuff? This is the first year they are doing this, and it's due to the whole community asking for it.

If they made an event because we complained, I'm sure we might have some say about the purpose of the event in the years going forward.
