And plenty of seating, and plenty of dancing room, and plenty of pancakes. KC has a great venue and one of the FRC community's finest volunteer corps. I also recall seeing plenty of Championship calibre teams compete at KC in recent seasons.

Some other FRC event venues are much tighter on space, and queue crossings can become dangerous, requiring special attention to traffic flow timing in some spots. [Queuing leads, please jump in here.] However, even in those cases, yelling "ROBOT!" generally does more harm than good, IMHO.

I support sanddrag's petition.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
