Re: NATIONALS BACK IN DISNEY
The nationals are in Atlanta untill my senior year and quite frankly i'm immensely happy about it. It's only about an hour and a half away from where our team is located (far enough to stay in a hotel but not some crazy long drive home) (This isn't true for most teams though unfortunately) The venue in Atlanta is really great... and I honestly don't believe it's short of things to do. There's plenty of places to go and things to see!
Disney was great though, despite the nasty hot stickiness. The only time you could ever "cool-off" was in the pits. And even there... it was rather stuffy. Houston was... a long 20 hour bus drive and a crazy long walk to and from the pits to the playing field... besides that... it was fun. All in all, FIRST is robotics and no matter the venue I'll still participate. I'll still love it. I'll still get that wonderful feeling inside when my teams robot is on the field and i hear the lovely sounds of hundreds of people clapping and cheering.

I GET that FIRST is about more than winning on the field. BUT... ...it is my experience that the great programs of the FIRST world almost always build on a foundation of competitive robots. Success on the field begets success in other realms. - Joe Johnson [more]
