Re: FIRST at Maker Faire Detroit
I have to disagree with the "The sounds of pneumatics firing almost drowned out the crowd noise from the spectators gathered around the arena." comment in the article. I stopped by twice, once during some downtime and once during a match, and during the match I a) couldn't get close enough to really see the game being played (HUGE crowd!), and b) couldn't hear the robots at all. Well done, teams.
On a side note, 1189 was not participating in the matches, but had their robot outside in the courtyard where kids were able to drive the robot and lift up tubes using an iPad. They loved it.
