FRC 931 attended the Waterloo Regional a couple of years ago, and it was a blast!
Waterloo's advantages include lots of enthusiasm, lots of noise, a great volunteer crew, a cozy-but-comfortable venue, and one of the
best emcees to be found at any FRC event.
We highly recommend this event -- for us the trip was long, but worth it. For 2009 we'll be attending Kansas City and St. Louis, but we definitely will keep Waterloo on our short list for future seasons.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
