2005 BTB ~ The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

[Elgin Clock]

The Good: Another great event put on by Northeastern, and the Boston (And the quad-state-area (MA, CT, NH, NJ) FIRST crew. Excellent competitors, and great food. A vex kit to test, and check out.. Sweet.

The Bad: I didn't mind, but the day was long. I know some things couldn't be helped, but some people just wanted to go home by about 7 or even 6!!! Me, I plan on being at a FIRST event I got to all day, so it didn't really bother me. And, thankfully this year I didn't have to drive.
Oh, and the weather on the drive back home.. Would somebody please make a weather changing robot for next years competition please..

The Ugly: Can you say Parking Tickets?? I feel bad for those who got them. I know I stated this last year, but can the parking situation be (if not changed) then at least modified? I have not ever paid for parking at a FIRST event until last years BTB, and I wouldn't mind doing so as long as I knew that at least half the proceeds were going back into the event, and not the parking garage/school and/or town of Boston (parking tickets.)

Also, what the heck was going on in that area around 8-8:30? Was there another event in the Gym? There was an awfully hard time trying to just get out of the lot, never mind onto the main road.

All in all, more good times in MA.
