Re: Queuing Feedback
I to, was very impressed with queung this year.
I didn't notice any time that my team was called excessivly early or late for a match. I think the timing was spot on.
I think a good deal of the success had to do with keeping the robot transport line and the spectator line to the dome seprate. I know a lot of people wished for a faster way to walk to the stands, but it really was nice not having to manuver those bots around a lot of people. I really hope it stays this way for next year.
My only other suggestion, and you may not be the person to really handle this, is with the pit annoucments. While the annocements were much more audible and clear then at any regional I've been to, with just shy of 300 teams being called through out the day it was a little difficult to hear your number called the first time every time. I would be interested in each division having it's own speakers and PA loop, so that at least your divisinal queuing would be louder then the other 3. Or perhaps each time a division was called, intead of saying 'Newton match #56...' a specific sound that always preceded Newton being called could be played, as a sort of 'heads up'. A pure tone or something that people could easily associate with thier division. That way, when you hear your divisions tone/sound, you pay attention.
All together, there really isn't a whole lot that could be improved. Any problems I did see were likely the result of teams responding late or early.
Congrats guys, really.
