Being this is my fourth year in FIRST, and having three prior years at EPCOT... I would have to say EPCOT hands down. Here are some of my reasons, sorry to sound so down... but this has really been my least favorite FIRST event EVER.
1. The distance from the pits to the field was horrible, and those ramps were insane.
2. I know this is a budget cut event, but having no screens on the division fields really sucked.
3. I don't even want to go into some of the referee horror stories. This added with some teams blatant hatred for other teams makes me sick.
4. The match pairing hardly seemed random. Some of the teams I talked to had the same robots in almost every single match.
5. Elimination should be 2 out of 3. Enough said.
I am not saying the event was horrible, just nothing I am used to seeing. I was kind of sad that FIRST wasn't the way I described it to my rookie team this year... I wish they could have seen it at its prime last year
