(Lack of) Value in the Regional Model

[Alyssa]

I am very much so excited for California to transfer to the district model soon. I think it will lead to more play time and more opportunities for teams to attend Champs. However, as many have said, there are a lot of tradeoffs. I for one am not looking forward to missing even more school than I already do for robotics. Of course, I love competition and I will continue to do anything possible to compete as much as possible. But I know my teachers and many other teachers on campus are not happy when the same group of 50+ students on my team are gone for the last part of the week multiple weeks in a row.

That being said, I love competition and am glad more teams will be given the ability to go on in competition in the district model.
