They seemed to have a great time with the team mascots they were dancing with. That was one of the many, many special moments of LSR this year.

Edit:
There are 2 other moments that stand out to me:
1. watching the Brazilian team's robot. It was a neat, small robot that consistently hung ringers and worked quietly and efficiently. It was wonderful to watch.
2. watching Team 118 work hard at repairing their robot next to the field in preparation for the upcoming match(es). The students and mentors working together in difficult circumstances was something to learn from and to respect.

I have others but they are kind of jumbled in a whirl of action, color, sound, laughter, emotion.
