Yay for shameless patrioticism! 1075 has been loudly and proudly bringing Canada to Kettering Kickoff and Brunswick Eruption since 2007. Being the lone Canadian team at both events every time we've gone, I understand it at BE, being in NJ (about 9 hours drive from Toronto), but KK is only 5 hours from Toronto, and less for those teams from points west.

Our robot/cart/cheering section at these events often involves our GIANT Canadian flag. (It's big enough to drape over our 2009 robot)

As soon as we qualify.

I had the chance to go as a volunteer doing tech inspection a couple years ago, so I know how awesome it is, but I hate going to an event when we can't afford to take the whole team along. That's why we stopped going to GTR once Seattle became an option. I'm pretty sure that when we qualify we can leverage that into some extra sponsorship to get everyone out there... but until then I think the money and effort is better spent on building the students and the team, rather than the travel.

But it is fun to be "the Canadian team", isn't it? I always feel that we get an especially warm welcome because of it.
