I have to say I think the results of this poll will be a tad misleading...

Would our team go to Nats if it wasn't in Disney-- sure, we prolly would.. we don't go for the Disney-ness (the team doesn't even buy hoppers or stay extra to spend time in Disney).. we go for the competition.. It's nice to get out of the snow to the sun.. but I think we wouldn't really question going to nats based on local.

HOWEVER- I DO think that no matter where Nat's are, limiting is just the healthiest thing at this point til FIRST can fully catch up to the 'monster' they've created and we can get to the 'recognizability' point of everything from BattleBots to NCAA..

It doesn't matter the local.. the "Championship Event" will be of equal caliaber no matter what ground it's on.. it's the qualifying that is going to change the game and make it something to see and strive to be at!

You should want to go for the chance to compete with the best of the best... no ride rides you think are the best..

so is what i think
