If the fields were moved out away from the stands, everyone would be able to see, and you could stand up and cheer for your favorite teams.

I thought that they were too far away and so did the rest of my team. We scout so we need to be able to see everything. During our competitions in Michigan we were always really close and whenever we did not (Troy and States), the scouting was harder and sometimes more inaccurate. Also, the presence of the team was not noticed as much by the teams on the field.

For Einstein, wee were one of the last teams to be seated even though we won Galileo. It would help if there were seats up front for all the teams that won. There was an area for those teams but it was not up front and again, we needed to scout.

When Dave walked onto the field, it was anticlimactic but being on his team and talking to him several times a week made it more fun than for the rest of the audience.

The whole team was so nervous for the finals. We won with 217 at Cass Tech, Troy, and Michigan State Championships. We also won with 68 at Lansing and we beat them at Troy in the finals and in the quarters at Michigan States. As for 247, we did not win with them, but we did have somewhat of a rivalry with them. We beat them at finals at States. If you recall, we collided so hard that their battery fell out. But it was exciting to be against 3 Michigan teams.

At Einstein, for the finals, we were kept in suspense because of the awards. That killed us. If they would have done that earlier or after, we would have been better off, rather than being nerve wrecked for the rest of the competition.

Overall the championships were fun exciting. Thanks to team 111, the WildStangs, for choosing us as 1st pick and team 971 for helping us win. The other teams always put up a difficult match, testing our abilities and strategies.
