(And for all you inspectors out there -- VEX inspection takes a few minutes per robot. More time to enjoy the rest of the event!)

Yeah! What he said!
I judged at Orangeburg and reffed at the Championship, and it was a blast both days. The events are smaller, more like an FRC off-season, but they really pack a lot of action into these games. The finals in Atlanta for Half-Pipe Hustle were about as exciting as those for Aim High, and you didn't run the risk of a Poof ball to the head (or elsewhere).
I'll definitely be at the South Carolina Championship Tournament next February, classes permitting, and I'm hopeful that it'll be even more competitive, both on the field and off, than the 2006 event. (I've never judged an FRC or FLL event, but doing it in Orangeburg was an interesting process and a pretty good time. Lots of that "hard fun" they keep talking about.
)
