Honestly, if we were to bring our robot to Lone Star this year, it would be like throwing it to the wolves. Eventually, the districts will reach us all and hopefully Louisiana and Mississippi will give rise to teams like the Robowranglers, Texas Torque, Robonauts, and so forth. All the gracious profesionalism will be greatly missed, including team 3847.
I guess it's just a part of FIRST growing up.

Come to think of it, there is nothing stopping Texas teams from playing at Bayou once we move to districts. I imagine you will still get some Texas alliance members in the future.
