If you have any other thoughts or suggestions on how to make the experience better for students going forward, I'm happy to hear them. Feel free to send me an email, twexler at midatlanticrobotics.org.

Overall, I thought the event ran amazingly smoothly. The sound system, the times between matches, very limited robot-field communication issues, etc., which put the competition ahead of schedule. Libby's comments about food service and volunteer rotations were two things I didn't think of. I was just thinking of the students, mentors, volunteers, etc. who were going to be putting in so many hours and could have enjoyed those extra 15 minutes. (Then again, 'Nova-Oklahoma didn't turn out to be much of a "game," anyway. No tiebreaker needed there.)
Really the only problem would be if an event "killed time" to try to get back on schedule, and then had a major issue that cost a lot of time... that would be frustrating.
Good job to the field staff, volunteers, etc. for getting us to that ahead-of-schedule point.
I guess I'm just anti-dancing.

And pro-225. Great win! Also the 1640 catapult is super-cool.

Not a clue... but I hope that lots more competitions run ahead of schedule so we have to discuss it.
Maybe watching some of the Chairman's videos?
