When we were competing I remember watching that balance thinking "Man, I'm not looking forward to playing against that...". Unfortunately, we were eliminated before that could happen.

Overall, it was a pretty good event, I thought the field crew did an excellent job running things and overall the event felt pretty pulled together and smooth. There were a couple things I think could have been managed better, but no event is perfect, so I'm not too concerned about it.

The only other problem, was that they kept running those gosh-darned robot matches while my students and I were trying to have our dance party. (Anyone in the stands on the blue bridge side of field might recall 263s proud and terrible dancing ) That, and I now have video evidence that I'm a really terrible dancer...

Overall, good stuff, I hope that the SBPLI event is just as fun.
