I do agree, FIRST did learn a lot from Houston. A lot of these lessons learned were brought to Atlanta and helped make this Championship an improvement. Atlanta had a much longer time to prepare, I give a lot of credit to the Houston group for being able to put together a successful event in such a short time. We can all learn from each other, there is no need to bash anyone since Houston really did a great job with the resources and the time that was given to them. I know that Atlanta had many more months and we still would have needed more time to get everything done right. Please don't bash Houston, you all really helped make this event a success. Thank you and hopefully next year the Atlanta event will be even better.
