If it was amazing on the field, it was doubly so elsewhere. I saw very few matches, but met many new people and talked with many I've known for years.

Here's a couple of observations:
  • Our team hoped to give out a "Dirty Hands" award for the most involved students in the pits. It was very hard to pick one. Once we made a pick, printer and other issues prevented us from presenting it. Team 2197, we were impressed with how your team worked on the robot and supported each other during repairs and maintainence.
  • The only way to tell rookies was by their team number. There was very little rookie panic or rookie shyness.
  • I was extremely impressed again at the Judges that Terry Stevens recruited. Their titles are impressive but observing them interact with the teams was amazing.
  • It was awesome to see four National Woodie Flowers Award winners presenting the WFA.
  • I'm still trying to figure out how a 54 team regional felt so comfortable.
I'll probably write a congrats and thank you in that section of the forum so I'll just finish by saying I had a blast.
