Regardless, I stand by my statement that all Show Ready, A/V, or production crew need to be paired with a knowledgeable robotics person.

Many district events and state championship events are managed more efficiently and have better production value than some Show Ready managed robotics events. (FiM State Championship, for example...)

Why is this?

One of the people in charge of Show Ready Events happens to be from our town, sponsors us, and knows a great deal about the program. Try putting on an event for 40,000 people, it's not easy.
