Congrats to all of the teams that played at the Florida regional. Thanks to the organizers of the events. Here are things I really liked at the event.

1) Great weather. How'd you manage that?
2) Pit areas right next to the competition field.
3) The NASA rocket launch in the afternoon was perfect...nice touch! :-)
4) Music was not too loud (something important to us old guys).
5) Access to the event was easy once we were on campus.
6) Woody was at the event. Really encouraging to the teams to see him there...taking time to talk to everyone who wanted to talk to him.
7) Florida Governor Jeb Bush took his time talking to lots of people. Didn't see him in a great big hurry. His Secret Service agents and security guys were friendly...didn't intimidate me with their presence. :-) Kids enjoyed the photo ops and autographs.

Great job to the event organizers, judges and teams. Look forward to returning next year if our budget supports it.

Regards,
