You never know the real meaning of a FIRST Competition until you have to ride back home with a team you just defend in a match.
beg to differ, defending a team that you are riding with isnt at all that bad. What truly is bad is playing against your high schools team in both a qualification match, then having to beat them in the elimination matches. That was a tuff day for me at both Detroit Regional and Nationals on Curie.
How about bringing your rookie team down to south carolina for a regional…beating them in the finals, and then bringing them back home on the bus (17 hour ride)
This was MORTs 2004 Palmetto Regional win
We weren’t too mad.
After all…I did break the TVs on the bus on the way home.:ahh:
it took me a bit to realize that the robot in the left bottom corner was a robot, and not a scoring tetra from 2005 :yikes:
Which made that 8 hour drive seem about 16 hour long. Thanks Taylor! 
When all was say and done I think both teams had a blast traveling together.
Yes, we should ride together again.
