Go to Post I learned that I don't have a clone, there are only 24 hours in a day, and I can't do everything I want to do (even though I tried) and I learned that I have to say "no" once in a while. - KathieK [more]

We commuted to the DCMP this past year and are planning to commute to both of our district competitions whether they are in New Hampshire or Massachusetts.

Let's also not forget that last year CT teams were some of the only teams able to compete at two-three competitions in their own state. Both New Hampshire events were week 1 and week 2 meaning all but two teams traveled out of state to compete or be forced to compete back to back in the beginning of the season when robots/teams usually aren't ready. Massachusetts was doable in weeks 3 and 5 but demand filled both of those events fast.

For those of us who are competing in the southern half of the district (CT, MA, RI, and SNH) keep in mind that there are plenty of teams in Vermont, Nothern New Hampshire, and Maine who are forced to travel hours to just get to one event.
Absolutely true, we we're spoiled in 2014, and I was hoping to see Groton back again in 2015.
I am nervous about continued turnover in event locations year to year.

I don't think its a matter of complaining vs what other teams/areas have, its just about how things are adjusting in general.
