Hearing all these comments is heartwarming. It's our second year only in the beautiful community that is FIRST, and to see that we can impress veterans is a very nice feeling.
I am no expert in FRC regionals, but having watched a few of them already, Montreal definitely has something unique about it that is exciting. It's nowhere from being formal. The music, the lights, the ceremonies, the webcast, etc.: everything is made so that students can feel like they are rock stars. And they are, indeed.
They also made a bet at the opening ceremonies: if a Québec team wins the regional, FIRST Canada exec. director would have to where a Montréal Canadiens hat; otherwise, FIRST Québec exec. director would have to where a Toronto Maple Leafs one. That made our day.
