Championship's Atlanta 2006 - The Positive

Please tell everyone what went right or what you enjoyed about this years event!


For myself, I thought overall the weather was fantastic! The only rain that I know of was on Wednesday. It was a little cool each morning but every day's high was in the low 70's. While it was not warm at the social in Centennial Olympic Park, it was downright balmy compared to the very chilly temperatures last year. Of course it was somewhat windy most days.

It seemed like the students had a great time playing ultimate Frisbee or other games between the dome and WCC building C or at the Centennial Park.

As our team's media representative, I was very happy to have a pass allowing me field access to get up close video and still pictures.

I thought that First had an excellent assortment of important and entertaining speakers on Thursday and Friday.

I thought the First Robotics balloon flag that was destroyed by fireworks at the opening ceremony was very cool. I just wish I had my video camera turned on so I could have recorded it, as it was unexpected.

The CD webhug was fun and I even won a T-Shirt!

I was happy to see the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau banners displayed downtown welcoming First to Atlanta.

I was glad to see Atlanta Mayor Franklin come and welcome all of the First people.
