Trip Vs. Robotics

regionals ... while exciting as the trip may be, i think regionals is more exciting. However, if you are sure that this trip is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and you will never get the chance to go to that place ever again or it is something like your grad trip where your whole grade is going, then go to the trip ...

how exactly is the poll question a yes or no answer ??

yea.. while i am chooseing to attend a regional over a spring break trip, i kinda wish first wouldn't schedule competitions during spring break (ie. the easter week). I know it can be hard with the changeing dates of easter and whatnot.. but I think they might get more attendance if they took a week off during spring break

This isn't feasible because not everyone has spring break at the same time. It all depends on your school district. So if FIRST took one week off for spring break, many schools would still be in session and then have their break while FIRST is running.
