Re: What to Expect at Nationals
- If you have an opportunity to meet some of the fine folks of FIRST, smile, shake their hands, and tell them it is a pleasure to meet them. When you walk away, you can go nuts saying you cant believe you just met....
but save that part until then.

- the spirit and energy at the event is like your regional only magnified. You will be sitting in the stands surrounded by veteran teams and rookie teams. Introduce yourselves and share your give-aways. In the pits, make time to look around. Don't just stay in your division, go check out other divisions. Your first priority is the team and the team schedule, taking care of business so have a plan for people to take turns exploring and checking things out. We use a buddy system at regionals and at the Championship.

- your life has changed and will continue to change with each FIRST experience - for the better

next...
