Even though last minute changes (like no human player throwing of white discs) are never pleasant, at least we all played under the same rules this year, including week 1 events. Hub City ran very smoothly.

Teams who are signing up for a 2nd or 3rd event right now are probably doing so with the ability to travel. That makes having a webcast for family and friends back home an added bonus. Last year we had to rig up a cellular network at the last minute to get a broadcast out. Any word on a webcast for this year? The rest of FRC would love to tune in to a week 1 event to see how the game will be played.
Hub City is actually Week 2 this season. Alamo is back to Week 1 this year after it moved to Week 5 last season. We'll definitely have a webcast for Alamo.
