OOOH, the one thing I love talking about on these fourms.

PNW has only had one District Championship so far, but since we have kept our knowledge fresh in our minds by going out of state to IRI, I can safely say that our production quality won't take a big hit at all. I've been working on finding ways to make the show a bit more interactive as we hit delays such as the dual screen dancing and the thought bubbles that they pulled off at Einstein this year.

Personally, I believe that all district champs should have high production quality in all aspects. A/V is quite possibly the hardest to pull off, but is required to make FIRST more accessible to outsiders. Hopefully FIRST adopts some standards to help make the A/V better at all events, districts and regionals alike.
