It wasn't that long ago that CCA, FTC Inspire Award, and FLL Champion's Award used to be given out right before Einstein started, and perks of the award were field side seats with Woodie, Dean, and the rest of FIRST brass. I vote we bring this back. It ensured that the biggest audience possible saw the teams that we all should idolize and strive to be like. I vote we bring this practice back.

Supposedly they were recorded. I have yet to see where said recording has surfaced yet though.

Pardon the language, but JFC about that last bit. Sometimes I'm halfway tempted to actually print out the rule in the Administrative manual and carry it around to competitions. I understand that teams want to sit together, but when I'm just one person looking for an open seat, have a freakin' heart.
