My favorite part of traveling?

I can't really say.

I love meeting new teams. We don't go somewhere local for our second competition, it's either Atlanta or somewhere far off.
I love staying at the hotel. I have some stories to comply with each of those.

This year we went to the Boilermaker regional. Being the only team from New England there, we decided to add a bit of New England flare. We made "Wicked Awesome" T-shirts to wear on Thursday. We chanted "Wicked Awesome" during our matches, and many times before matches in the Elimination rounds. We accepted the Alliance invite with "Team 166 thinks it would be "wicked awesome" to play with you guys". Let's just say we overused the phrase, but it got us noticed, and that's the best part about going to a regional somewhere away from home.

Hotel!

Last year in Atlanta, we (my hotel room) probably did the most outrageous thing anyone could do in a hotel. There was no vandalism (no... we didn't break any elevators), as far as I know, we did nothing illegal, it was just really fun. Basically, our hotel room had a balcony, and looking to the right there was a huge wall. One of the students had a projector that he bought a while ago and decided to bring. So... long story short, we set up an X-Box on the balcony, pointed the projector at that wall and played a quick game of Halo 2. We ended it quickly realizing that there might be something wrong with this.
