Re: Championship 2007 - Atlanta - What Needs To Be Improved

First and foremost, as i've said many many times over, the use of the term NATIONALS needs to go. It is quite disrespectful to international teams that compete at the championship. Granted their are many that were around when it was still being called the nationals. But it remains that their are a staggering amount of people who weren't around during that time, thus have no reason to be using that term to describe the event.

Second. After standing for a few minutes watching a ranking screen, I was bombarded by the girls in the bright green vests screaming robot coming through. Now thats fine, and I can understand if your coming through a narrow walk way, but their is NO need to try to push your way through a group of about 20 people looking at a display. Their was plenty of room on either side of the group, and it should be used for robot traffic.

Third. The thought of having more divisions thus requiring more fields on the dome floor is probably never going to happen. Their is simply not enough room at the ends of the football field to fit one in correctly, and still allow the audio to get to the correct people. The only way I can think of to make it happen, were if FVC and FLL were to move to another venue or happen prior to the FRC event starting, thus freeing up the needed space on Einstein and DaVinci.

Fourth. The complaint about the walking distance is hard for me to understand, having been to Epcot, the walking distance was minimal. Though by far the worst was in fact Houston, the walk from the pits in Atlanta pales in comparison to the walk in Houston.

As i've said before, the best way to voice your complaints is to email frcteams@usfirst.org if you'd like your complaints to be considered by the FIRST staff.
