Re: Things you noticed in your first Regional
Well the first competition I went to, happened to be an off season Brunswick Eruption I believe. I remember the pits, they were wild. Fixing, testing, sleeping, non-stop work. The NASCAR style pits, were, are, and will continue to be the coolest thing I see in FIRST. Building the robot is my priority, sending it to competition is my prize (Making it be able to win is my championship). Thats why the pits are my favorite, you see a robot just as it is, not under any stress, human error, etc.
My First regional, was NJ last year. That was pretty crazy, just watching the complexity and organized chaos was fun. Taking part in the chaos, just makes it better. I also liked watching the reaction on people's faces when I brought them to a competition for the first time, it just makes me laugh. Some go speechless, some awe, some drool, some look scared. The chaos is what I noticed.
The second thing i noticed, was the originality in everything, no two robots looked alike (even 217 and 229) That was cool too, though I was expecting it.
