The parts of the competition that I saw were quite exciting. I agree with the claim that the music was too loud, and since I didn't spend a lot of time in the lower level of the audience, I don't know about the crowding problem.

Some highlights:

126- amazing robot, and they obviously deserved this win
121- see above
175- although they were a little tippy and their robot unfortunately suffered some damage throughout the elimination rounds, they had a very cool arm with a good range of motion
133- capped the center goal in autonomous occasionally (started with tetra, not a vision system)

No one seemed to have a working camera, and for the qualifiers, autonomous wasn't important. However, when eliminations hit, the autonomous became a lot more important. The winning alliance's combined autonomous made it so that they had 5 points before the end of autonomous, and only one goal needed to be owned to make a row. In addition, 126 was in position to grab two tetras and make that row.
