Re: Championship Disappointment

Even though at Championships there are so many people and it seems overwhelming, the experience is worth it. You get to see all the robots you have seen on the webcasts and through videos/pictures. Also, playing with some of the most well-known and well-respected teams is also a big deal. (Especially when everyone underestimates your robot and then your team ranks far better than anyone ever expected.)

I didn't get to go to Atlanta this year, but we went last year. We had the best time. The teams shouldn't make this all about the competition. In Atlanta, they need to go out in downtown and visit all the places. It should be a neat experience, especially, if you're from Canada, or a cold climate area and you've never been "down south" such as Atlanta. I'm from Virginia (not that far from Georgia) and I had the best time in Atlanta, so it really doesn't matter where you're from in my opinion to enjoy the competition.
