Haha, when our team crossed back into the USA after the Canadian Super Regional... one of our engineers had already crossed in his car and talked to the border guy about our success. Then our bus got there and we were all still ecstatic. I told the inspector my passport was under the bus when he asked for it (which it was and I forgot to get it earlier) but the guy just smiled and said, "well these guys can vouch for you" (the ones yelling behind me "This is our driver! We can vouch for him!"). The inspector seemed pretty enthusiastic about a USA team winning in Canada (lol) and we spent the majority of the time talking about FIRST and what it is. The border inspection was the simplest I've ever experienced (what are you doing Homeland Security?!?!?!). When I got home, my parents and sister said they got inspected by the same guy and was happy to tell the guy I was his son, the one without the passport. So my parents got by in a flash too. So much for border security
