That got me thinking and with the tragedy at Purdue it brought it back to me.
Why couldn't we have a moment of silence, at Championship, for the people we have lost since the last Championship (1 year span)?
They could read the names off or display them on the monitor.
Every year we have the names displayed on our robot:

What does the FIRST community think? Is it doable?
What would it take to get it done?
Thanks for representing Marc. He's still greatly missed.
