Perhaps it was because the doors were opening, and the crowd was pouring in. Or, since he was sans Segway, perhaps he just isn't as noticeable without the extra few inches in height.


On a side note from earlier, Dean also spent 45 mins to an hour walking around the pit area on his own. Was he asked for autographs, sure not doubting it one bit. However, I remember ohh, many moons ago maybe 4 years now? at the first Annapolis Regional when Dean could barely make it from the entrance to the judges viewing area in an hour he had so many eager students approach him.


Back on track.... excellent info on the new Segway's at segway.com

I'm not worried about the amount of Segways at a regoinal, I'd rather see them out in the real world than at a robotics competition IMHO....
