Honestly I think FIRST should release some kind of serious statement about it next year - not just "please don't throw paper airplanes."
It's hard to undo an Air Force official " ordering" everyone to throw planes.

And it wasn't just the planes. There was all sorts of trash including food trash all over the place. It reflected poorly on our program. It sends the message of "thanks for hosting us in your city, hopefully you've got someone to clean up our mess when we leave"
