Yeah, WI would be in an awkward spot for a district system, mainly because of our distribution of teams. I don't think we can justify a Milwaukee district, etc, because it would be "on the edge" of the region. Madison would probably be the central place, but then our second district would be in MN? I don't know exactly how districts work other than that you attend 2.
Then again, there are probably a lot more awkward geographical situations to come as FRC moves to districts.
There is something completely respectful and amazing to see FIRST teams who have members go through 4 years of the program without winning a single competition or even a single award. Those are the teams that are looked at by others and respected for what they do. - fuzzwaz [more]
