I went to championships at WDW twice, and it was great

but I think we have outgrown this aspect of FIRST and there is no going back.

To be honest, it was a bit of a sticking point, asking companies to sponsor teams, when a big part of the budget was sending 20 to 60 students and adults to Disney World for 5 days

when you pitched FIRST to a potential new sponsor, that part of it was a bit awkward.

The way the championship is now is, well... pure FIRST and nothing else

but to be honest, I miss those days - it was magic.
