Re: Come to the land of inspiration!

The HoF was alright. It seems like some teams put more thought into it than others, and some did a better job at explaining what they do than others. But the placement was great.

The WFA section needs a complete overhaul before the 2007 Championship. If the engineers are the rock stars of FIRST, it felt like listening to The Beatles through a cheap pair of headphones. I'm going to guess that there was a time crunch this year, but I sincerely hope that there's improvement for next year. (I'd be game for helping out, if anyone knows who to talk to.)

And while I have no idea whether this is feasible or not, what about a section for the three HoF teams that are inactive? (For those who wonder, the FIRST records say they are 144, Northwest High School (CA 1996, inactive since 2003), the original 7, AT&T Bell Labs & Science High School (CA 1994, inactive since ????), and 23, Boston Edison & Plymouth North High School (CA 1998, inactive since 1999).)
