Post Re: Lone Star Regional

I have had nothing to complain about in four years. I really don't know what one can do about the noise in the pits and the PA system. It was extremely loud in the center aisle where we were yet others in the corners couldn't hear...All that concrete creates an acoustical mess. The raffle did seem to drag a bit and I'm not sure it was worth it. I think everyone did enjoy the mascot challenge. You might have mascots register for that event and not do it as what appeared to be an impromtu thing. As I was watching that, I thought that it would be fun to have some sort of skills competition in addition to the mascot shooting challenge. Maybe a driver obstacle course with default robots. Maybe team 57 could bring in some retired 'bots with similar drivetrains....Not sure how to stage it or how fun it would be for the crowd but some sort of programmer challenge is another skill area.... mechanic races to see who can change a tranny and reinstall it into a bot....Sounds like there is enough here to form a seperate regional skills competition
