We enticed the others out of the immediate arena, and the show went on. I don't think many people noticed this.

Our drive team was backstage Einstein (backup bots) and witnessed a couple of these doofuses walk up to Dean Kamen and ask them and I quote "How much would I have to pay to get up on the field and flip the bird to all of America". Kamen replied "$250,000", and these guys actually got out their wallets and started counting. When they started hassling Dean, a couple burly querers escorted them out.
When they told me this, I didn't believe that anyone at a FIRST event would do such a thing. Now we know why these guys got let in. Though we can now laugh it off as a bunch of idiots, I'm glad it isn't a bunch of dead idiots that wandered into the path of a tornado.
