Re: Trip Vs. Robotics

Of all years, I'd definetly take regionals over a trip. It's my senior year, and I want to be there for every minute of FIRST.

Re: Trip Vs. Robotics

mmm this might be the wrong community to ask this question, everyone hear lives, eats, sleeps robotics.

Of course robotic competition nothing beats it

Re: Trip Vs. Robotics

Regionals of course! Actually, this has happened to me before on a number of occasions, not just with friends inviting me places, but getting invited to programs. I was invited to participate in HOBY (The Hugh O'Brian Leadership program) two years ago, which was going to conflict with the Chesapeake Regional that our team was competing in. It was a difficult decision considering the program is rather prestigious, but FIRST is life and I decided to go to the regional.

Re: Trip Vs. Robotics

My friends and I are actually in this situation right now with nationals. It's our senior year, so when we found out our team wasn't going to nats, we were pretty bummed and planned a spring break trip to Daytona for the same week instead. Turns out, our team was able to register for nats, so now we have a choice; if our team flies to Atlanta, we can try to switch our plane tickets for 50 extra bucks, or, if our team takes a bus then we're going to Daytona.

Everybody cross your fingers so we fly!!!!!!

Re: Trip Vs. Robotics

I would go with FIRST. Evey year Key Club has conferences around the same time the Championship is held and 3 of the officers on Key Club are also on the FIRST Team so we can't go.
