This was my first year on my team and I enjoyed the championship event. My first suggestion would be to allow some non drive team members passes to be in the stadium to fix the robot if it had any minor problems - or, during the eliminations of each division or even just the Einstein matches have a mini-pit (for a toolbox or 2, spare parts) set up behind the fields so the team does not have to run back to get parts or other things. I stood behind the fields a few times and there is a TON of room there for a few mini-pits for the elims. its just there might be power supply problems or restrictions set by the georgia dome commitee that won't allow this. Thats about it for idea #1
On to #2- have a carpeted area or something so that programs could be practiced. it doesn't even need to be a field, just carpet. Teams could come in and use duct tape markers and practice programs. all that was availible at atlanta was the bit of carpet behind the hall of fame.
and my last suggestion (#3): the big escalator outside of entrance C became overcrowded many times - it broke a few times, causing a few minutes worth of delay (enough to miss your match). if there are any extra stairs or elevators out there to ease traffic, that would also be great.

Summary:
1)Mini-Pits in stadium for elims or Einstein
2)Carpeted area for programing practice
3)More routes from pits to stadium, if availible

Overall I think the championship event was fun and exciting, and the pits weren't too much of a problem (good execise?). I can't wait for next season!
