There was no letdown by Team MAX...no regrets! In fact, be proud of the fact that you used some rookie drivers during the competition. We have found it valuable to use off-season competitions to try out new drivers. From what I heard from my team, all had a great time. We got some younger pit crew members some valuable experience and got some fresh people driving the machine. They thought it was neat that we ended up with the same alliance as UTC and were under no pressure to "win it all." From what I heard, there were a LOT of quality teams there and some serious alliances to contend with.
And for what it is worth, the competition was fantastic. Anytime you try to squeeze everything into one day, it might seem long. Many of our team straggled home on the T, but everyone I talked to said it was worth it! I think it is a wonderful endorsement of an event when you can get high school students to wake up at 6AM, spend all day at an event, and then have them say they would do it again given the chance...that means something! I would say that BTB is a GREAT off-season competition. Thank you to all the volunteers who made it happen.
