I too think that the Colorado Regional was great! I can only think of two negative impressions,
a) We had planned on finding an open space to tweak our autonomous code and found out that there really wasn't anyplace to go. The Denver University Staff made it clear that we were to stay either in the pit or on the playing field.
b) After one violent collision in practice, we decided to reinforce our front end by welding on a piece of aluminum. When we went to the shop the welder wasn't there. Later, after the welder showed up, we were told the welding machine was broken. We just bolted the piece on and hoped for the best.
On the whole it was an great regional, just did not live up to my expectations based on past experiences at other regionals.
