ATL was a blast! we took a red-eye flight from LAx to the atlanta airport tuesday night. Our team was exhasted when we got there it was about 8-7 in the morning because, who sleeps on a plane trip to a robotics competion? We got there and we took the MARTA to close to our hotel and walked there. Our team stayed at the Embassy Suites, I have to say thats probably the best location. We got there on a Wendsday so our team members can have a day to explore the town, and its nice to have a day to relax b4 the competition. The MARTA pass comes in handy when doing this. We walked to the Dome everyday. It wasnt much of a walk just about 4-5 blocks. After the competition the party was a blast!! I know our team loved it and we met some cool people from other teams. We left the next day. On our team the cost per member came out to $500 for 4 night hotel and airfare, but our team paid for some of it.
