Go to Post It is a difficult balancing act - we're engineers because we like to solve problems, and to take a step back and let someone else solve it, with what may be a poorer solution, is darn hard. - DonRotolo [more]

NATS returning to florida?

Ok, first of all, this is NOT about this years nationals, it is about next year, or some time in the future.

Well, my uncle was the Director of Golf for Disney, and due to recent layoffs, he is now the Director of all Sports for Disney. My dad was talking to him recently, and said "It looks like we won't see you this april, the robotics championship is not as Disney this year." So my uncle said "Hey, is that the same as FIRST?" And eventually he told my dad that Disney is thinking about building a permenent fixture to hold the FIRST nationals at. He told us that it cost 3 million dollars just to tear it down and put it up each year, and if they build a permenant structure, that would save them money. So, if this goes through, we might be back at Orlando in the coming years.

Now, they are only talking about it, nothing for sure yet, but I hadn't thought that Nats might move back to Disney in the future, so it was good news to me. Anyway, as soon as my dad told me about this, I knew I had to tell everyone at ChiefDelphi about it
