Re: It's Championship, Not Nationals

I just cover all the bases and call it the "International Championship". Sounds even more awesomer.

I used to say Nationals as well, but the first time I said "Nationals" to my co-worker at FIRST, she was quick to correct me. Said they "stopped calling it that ages ago".

Either way, I don't think people should get in a tizzy over it. No matter what it's called, its a competition and celebration of the hard work and commitment of students all over that are going to one day change the world - and as long as people know that, then they can call it "the big robotics competition" for all I care =)
