Re: What to Expect In Atlanta
The one thing not mentioned in all of this, is not only are there nearly hundreds of teams and thousands of teams but they're not just from the US. They are from schools around the globe that compete in FIRST that will be there... Someone correct me if I'm wrong but close to 2 dozen countries will be competing for FRC Champ. Gold, FTC Champ. Gold and FLL Champ. Gold.
Breathtaking is hardly the word to describe it. I guarantee that if there's an event you will leave crying from this will be it... Many new friends formed, many new things learned, many new experiences in general and 3 days is not even enough to really take in all of it. All you can do is try =). The saddest part for me isn't packing the field back up but the wrap party which always symbolizes a year well done in every aspect.
You will truly have a good time and no matter how prepared we try and make you, you will still pass out b/c it's unbelieavable. As a volunteer we have 1-2 days to set it all up and 3 days to put on one of the most unforgettable shows for all Championship Event Attendees. The only reward we accept is a smile on each and every attendees face =].

Every robot needs a locky-thingy. A robot without one might fire when it isn't supposed to, and hit the wrong target; e.g., a referee, FTA, or robot inspector. - Richard Wallace [more]
