i would love to win a regional, i mean its always exciting when you are in eliminations and you have a shot.

but, i like the idea of spreading technology and learning more. Last year at AZ and LA regionals i didnt see a single match until the final day, i was working at the machine shop/FIRST Aid Station (a spare parts inventory RoboDox do to help out teams at regionals). I actually preferred it to watching the matches as it helped me learn more about machining, i got to meet cool people by helping them solve problems to help fix their robots, and met some cool people from ambassadors coming around and asking questions. Also, outside of competitions, its really cool to see people have their eyes widen and have them say "cool" or "i wish i could do that" and then you show them they can. ( we did a little demo for an elementry school and then had prebuild robot kits (EDU) that had preassembled manipulators, and they made robots. in an hour they competed. probably one of the coolest things i have seen). Chairmans is by far more important to me than winning a regional championship. Sorry if it seems like im bragging, i have a passion for the stuff as most the people on delphi do.
