Matt,
I agree with Mike. This opinion will be the overwhelming majority opinion of FIRSTers. If 461 does not compete, it would be a disservice to your team members, Purdue, WLHS, your families, and your community.
This regional will be great and unique. Many people have stepped forward already to volunteer their services to make it work. One of the great things about Purdue is the number of alumni who are involved in FIRST. The unique thing about this regional will be the venue. It will be held in the Armory, which has a very large, flat arena. Bleachers will be brought in and set up just for this competition. Pits will be very close to the field. It's gonna be a very exciting time!
