Keep in mind that I had never been to the Championships before...

The sheer size of the event. When I walked into the Dome as a human player for the first time, I stopped because I was overwhelmed by the size of the venue

Playing with the other teams. The constant Frisbee outside was a really fun way to play with and meet other teams from other divisions and let off some steam

All of the Segways! I got to (try to) ride one!

The energized announcers! Their constant energy helped me wake up every time I entered the dome!

The Lego League teams. There were so many little ones walking around! The 'nerdlets' as my teams call them, are the future of the program. It was great to see so many young kids involved in their robots.

Having 7 matches. We were expecting 5, 6 at the max. We were very grateful when we received our schedule that we were playing 7 matches. It didn't help our ranking much, but it definitely added to the great experience of playing at the world championships.

Dean Kamen signed our robot! After a hard day with only 1 win, Dean's agreement to autograph our 'bot really lifted our spirits. That was really awesome of him.
