Feedback request for West Coast Regionals

[Jason Morrella]

This is for all the teams who attended either the Silicon Valley (San Jose), Pacific Northwest (Seattle), or Southern California (LA) Regionals:

The feedback from the volunteers, judges, and staff has been incredible - as people were SO impressed by the robots, the attitudes, and the character of the teams who competed in these events. We hope you all had a good time and great experience.
We'd love your input, comments, suggestions about some of the aspects of these events. Please let us know what you thought of the events. We very much listen to the feedback of the teams - good and bad - as we try to make these events the best possible experience for the teams. We'd particularly like to know some of the following items:

What did you think of the new pit layout in SJ and LA (rookie/veteran alternating instead of just going in straight numerical order)?

What did you think of the team party (food, music, entertainment - which games were your favorites)?

What did you think of the venue/arena?

Teams who attended other regionals or from far away (such as WPI and other out of state teams) - what comparisions and suggestions could you give us?

General suggestions/comments (things to keep, add, change, improve, etc...)?

Thanks for any feedback and thanks again for your contributions to these events. Good luck to all those going to Orlando. We look forward to seeing all the teams who compete in the Regionals out West in 2003 - San Jose, Seattle, Los Angeles, Arizona, ???....
