Re: You are somewhere else

Natchez,

The truth is I loved Houston and would love to go back. People on this forum will always use past events to compare current events and in that manner Houston will always have a black marks of sorts.

You've got to look at what the places we have been built for. Disney is built to handle thousands of kids who are tourists. It has that safe feeling. Disney spoiled FIRST for several years. But I gets the impression that some people hold Epcot as a perfect unattainable goal. They compare everything with epcot and say everything else doesn't live up to it. I've only been involved for two years now so I can really say but I've got my impression that epcot had it's share of problems.

The second place is Atlanta. Everything was built specifically for the Olympics. So they built it so it would be really nice, lot a hotel rooms adn restaurants in a walking distance, and have a lot of space in the GWCC and Georgia Dome. Being downtown had a intimate feeling for FIRST.

Last you've got Houston. I love the facility. I loved the pit set-up in Houston a lot more. I even enjoyed running up and down those ramps (I thought it was exciting to be coming up when someone who had just won their match (or at least was spirited) was coming down. I loved six flags and Heeeyyy. People just never gave Houston a chance. I thought it was a blast................Okay I lost what I was trying to point out. I've just realized how much I really loved being in Houston. Sure their were slight issues but Atlanta had issues, epcot had issues.


Issues: I guess my biggest issue with Houston was having to eat at the golden corral multiple times because our team can't make decisions about what to eat so they go buffet. Ordering a buffet when your not very hungry isn't worth it. I have yet to go on a robotics trip where a have a warm pool when I get there. I guess it hasn't stopped me from going in. The no longer Radisson Astrodome and the Embassy Suite both had ice cold pools.
