I completely agree with Ben's comments. Our rookie VEX team gained a lot from participating, and yes, it WAS hard to tell that it wasn't a regional.

Matter of fact, participating in this event helped the team understand what we've been saying about strategy, and also the weaknesses in their design, all of which will allow them to compete with a much stronger entry in competition on December 3rd.

This was my first time to Ram Riot and, aside from the slightly small FRC pits, it had all the lements and excitemtns and prefoessionality of a full regional. These guys really know how to run a top-notch event
