[Herodotus]

I thought this was one of the best run years of FIRST I've seen so far. All of the volunteers were awesome, and very rarely were matches running late. Field reset was quick and efficient, and except for some communication errors here and there it didn't seem like there were nearly as many field faults. The district setup was simply fantastic. So many matches for less money, and the point system made the State Championship really intense. Though I understand the complaint of culture changing awards not being given as much importance since they did not qualify your robot for competition, I think that is fine as long as we find a new way to elevate those awards up. I'd like to see the high level of competition maintained at States while also giving a great deal more recognition to the teams that win the culture changing awards.
