Yes, we noticed the scoring and acoustics issues. Love the music; impossible to hear the announcing over it!

Also, lesson learned - check your tables when you arrive BEFORE you put your robot on them. Make sure the legs are locked into place. Ours collapsed, narrowly missing people's feet under it, and narrowly missing hitting them in the head as the robot went down. Fortunately no one was injured.

Also, some organization tips - your registration table needs to be better marked; everyone was coming to me at the NEMO table. It might be good to make up a flyer explaining the game and FIRST program, or provide FIRST brochures or something for visitors and post them somewhere where visitors would find it. I spoke at length with someone who had simply seen this advertised online (or in the paper?) and I had no materials with me about FIRST to give to her that would better explain the program [make note to self, pack some with me for UTC regional].
