Same comment re: St. Louis in Week 3. With only 28 teams participating (probably because most teams from outside the area would much rather come to St. Louis about a month from now!), we ran 11 seeding matches per team, at a 9 minute pace. Had to hold the field crew back to stay that slow -- added some dancing, etc.
Re: Andy's comment earlier, I agree field crews should brag more when they get 6 robots out there for a match. That sometimes requires support from the pit side as well; inspectors, teams, and experts on site all contribute.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
