Impressions of Houston

[Eric G]

This was my first Nationals/Championship event. I had a blast.

I had a much less negative experience. Houston did a good job being that this was their first FIRST experience! Disney does this all year long, all the time. Houston is not a production company. However, they pulled off a big event with no kinks that I know of.

I had a great time, the people were great. Our robot ran well. The stadium was incredible (I'm a country boy). It was neat to see the FLL competition going on at the same time. I was disappointed to see so little representation by the Houston community. I guess they didn't know about it. The music selection was great!

Our team was discussing the experience and agreed that it would have been an improvement to have had two divisions and their pits in each building and keep Einstein field in the larger building. I personally think that Houston is a better drive for half of the nation. Maybe we can have it in Rio one year for the Brazilian team(s).

Way to go Houston!
Way to go FIRST!
Way to go all sponsors of this and all FIRST events!!!
Way to go teams 111, 469, and 65! You guys rock!
Good Idea 111!
