Re: 2013 Lessons Learned: The Positive

Something that FIRST has been improving, and is getting better with, is team introductions. My dad used to tell me that he hated that part of the competition - hearing a flood of sponsors, one right after the other, was boring, tedious, and meaningless. Teams can and do recognize their sponsors with pit displays, banners, robot signage, tshirts, etc. - thank you announcing crew for realizing this and putting the focus on the teams and robots.
To single out JonDarr, the best game announcer in FRC, he does a fantastic job of mixing one or two sponsors, team tidbits such as school, city, state, robot name, a bit of team history - that is different and interesting each time.
