Re: Most Competitive Regional

I think that the midwest is so competitive is because many of the midwest teams have been around for a long time. Naturally, they have more experience, giving them an advantage. When you have a team that has been around for 10+ years, theyve probably also developed a good sponsor base, that continues to supply them with funds, expertise, materials, shop time, etc, as opposed to teams on the west coast, which are generally the newer teams (overall) except for a few. Im not saying there arent good teams in the west, because there are. Having never been to a competition anywhere but in California and Nationals two years ago, I suppose I really cant judge, but it just seems that the midwest consistently produces more good robots than any other area in the country.
