Re: FIRST Finale Feedback Thread

When I arrived the crowd was like it was a weekend on a holiday at DisneyLand, and the fireworks just started/ended. When I left, there was NO room between people. We're staying at the residence inn, so we got on the bus at Zone 4. The bus driver didn't even know what residence inn was, so after a circleback to the science center, we got off at union station hotel and took a taxi from there.

The science center is pretty small. Let's be conservative and say there was an average of 10 people per team, even though the number was probably double that. 10*400=4000. FIRST, you tried to pack 4k people into a very small space. If a fire had happened, it would be very hard to get out, and some people might not even be able to. FIRST, next time, consult with the safety award sponsor before and after planning the finale.

Edit: Now, this is my personal opinion, but the science center was very boring to me, and just seemed like it'd be a place elementary schoolers would go to.
