1.You be the one to tell Mr. Kamen to limit the time of his speech. He started this event. He deserves as much time as he wants to get his point across. It our job to be a good audience.

2. The awards in between worked well. They took up the dead time between resets. If they hadn't done this it would have been even longer.

It's time for a bit of positive peer pressure next year. It's time to stop the planes before they start.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
