Championship Location Rumor

Space Center Houston, while entertaining, is a 30 min or so drive from the astrodome complex. Thus, it could be ok for after hours entertainment, but won't help you out during the day. Really, Astroworld is the only option that's close enough for during the day entertainment. Unless you don't mind team members and chaperones completely abandoning the team for hours at a time....

As weedie said, why do you need entertainment during the day? What more do you need than robots competing concurrently on 4 different fields? What about wandering the pits and seeing other team's bots and meeting people from other teams? Aren't those the reasons we're all going?

I get mildly upset when I see our team members show up & cheer during our match, but then disappear to Epcot until the next one. Maybe moving Nats to a non-Disney venue will weed out the students who are more interested in the theme parks than the competition. One can hope.
