I would totally disagree with you. IN is one of the least populated districts. We went to 4 events for $10,000 (3 qualifying events and the DCMPS). The same cost as two regionals. Those cancel out. Regionals require you to stay at hotels for each regional and charter a bus for each regional unless you live in an area like MN where finding 2 regionals within driving distance isn't as hard. That right there saves you 4 nights of hotels and 4 days of chartering a bus. That saves you so much money.

FIRST like life is what you make of it, if you would rather go through FIRST worrying about what other teams do to make their robots, then your destined for disappointment. if you go through FIRST making the most of it doing the best you and your team can then it doesn't matter what other teams do. - Mike Schroeder [more]
