I know, Kara. And - I was happy to look at photos that were being posted on FB. Some were beautiful. Most were blurry and you couldn't really tell what was what.

If it is true and FIRST hopes to have events like this in the future, then these are things that either they need to address or the teams and volunteers will have to suck up and get used to.
