as far as, penalties go, there are a lot of first-timers out there. Not saying that all of the first-timers are bad, but most didn't; a. know the rules, or b. know what they were doing. From our teams standpoint we had a first-time H.P., but we filled him in during practice. Andy Baker even mentioned (warned) to the teams that they should inform those who do not know the interpretations of the rules. Still many penalties were called on simple errors and minor faults. But such is life and the show must go on.
But personally, IRI is rocking! Everyone on our team is having fun, whether it be with the FRC or with VEX.
Day 1 was great and I can't wait until eliminations and Day 2!
