Sure Cass. What I find is that teams tend to hold many more seats than they could fill, often in prime locations, shutting out visitors who won't be there later anyway. Holding 3 rows for a team with 50 students isn't a real problem, holding a dozen rows might be. Not to mention: The teams have the advantage of persistence. They can wait a short while and get the seats they might need without resorting to 'saving' them.
I was furious when my own team 1676 started saving seats on Saturday morning. I made my point with the well-intentioned adults leading the way. Indeed, we ultimately filled an entire section, well over 140 seats, and overflowed into whatever was available nearby.

Poking around backstage uncovered some inflation gauges issued by FIRST. So there tubes were within official spec. Teams take note!

It looked like their drive team did not have the experience driving like we've seen in past years. A careful review of matches shows that their drivers steadily improved their technique as the day went on, and by Saturday they were back to awesome. Nest stop: Virginia, with 11, 75 and us.

You are most welcome. WE in turn are grateful to the NJ Regional Committee for allowing this, and NASA for the CPU cycles and connection.
BTW, all was archived and TBA will have it soon enough.

The thanks goes to your team. They performed well enough on Friday to earn that pick. And you went ahead and proved us right in elims.
I should start a thread to explain our process for picking which teams we pick.
