I got there this morning when matches were allready being played, and I sat in the bleechers for a while and had two predominate thoughts
1. WOW! this is awesome - we waiting for a Rochester Regional for so long
and
2. I have NO IDEA whats happing on the field, what the score is, whos winning
after 3 or 4 hours I caught on a little. I agree with the first post in this thread, walk-in spectators are not going to have a clue whats going on this year
but I gotta add, having 6 bots on the field all doing their stuff sure looks impressive!

Ken, first of all: Welcome back!! The boards haven't been quite the same since the beginning of your hiatus.
As for spectators, I agree it will be very hard to catch on. While the game is simple to explain, it can get very complicated in actual play.
As for actual penalties, I agree with sanddrag. While FIRST isnt battlebots, its still fun to go and push other robots around. Guess we'll just have to avoid the loading stations..
