The mist I felt was in the stands to the left of the red alliance controlers. It happened twice, well before the start of semi's and again just before the semi's started (probably 30-60 minutes apart). My daughter, who was seated with team reps on the floor, actually saw hail falling from the ceiling during the hail storm.

I suspect there were MANY burst of fine precipitation floating around, which could have caused problems on both sides (but the red alliances appeared to be hit especially hard, since one red robot, on two teams, failed to move in the first three semi-final matches).
