Willenium® is an unknown quantity at this point
first of all the thing with the bombs is just quoting chuck yeager.
This was only my first year of being to the nationals and I have to admit it was fun. Yet, it didn't feel like a championship, it felt more like another regional. The vast emptiness of the dome swallowed any cheer that was started. It just didn't feel as lively as I thought it would be.
Another aspect was the ramps. After 6 sprints up them a day while pushing a 130 lb. robot it really kills your legs. Yet, when the drive team does get tired security wouldn't let anyone else push the robot. The ramps wouldn't be so bad if security would let other members of the team push the robot once in a while and give the drive team a break.
My major problem was the buses. Friday night there only seemed to be 1 blue bus for every 5 red. And when one of the members of my team decided to get on the blue bus that left before we has all gotten in line it took us an hour to find him. And, being the last stop on the way to the dome we would constantly have to get on a later bus because the earlier ones were full. We usually didn't arrive until 8:30 or so.
The medical center where we stayed wasn't so bad. There was a burger king and a pizza hut out in the parking lot, and the pizza hut was open until about 12. we didn't eat around there though. We mainly ended up going to places near the dome.
Finally, my favorite part of Houston was the fair that was going on in reliant park on Saturday. My team was able to ride the mechanical bull there for 3 dollars a ride. It was better than any ride at astroworld.
