We came back at 1:25 PM and the pit was empty. Then we saw the kid we had left coming down the aisle with the robot, absolutely excited and breathless.

They had played the match while we were at lunch. This poor kid had to drive, operate and be the human player. They WON the match! Not bad for someone who had never picked up the controls or thrown a ball before that day. I will never forget the look of excitement on his face or my embarrassment for missing the match.
This is awesome.
