We felt privileged to have seen so many excellent designs and rub shoulders with the FVC "greats". There were so many incredible teams, some of whom didn't carry home trophies. Congrats to the winners, especially 3053 for your awesome example.

I wholeheartedly agree. While I've never cared for "everyone's a winner" feel-good self-esteem, it occurred to me that of the 10,000+ students at the dome (FRC, FVC, FLL, JFLL), if one were to ask, "How many could find a place in the science or technology professions upon graduation?" the answer is "All of them!" -- there really is a place for all of us. In contrast, at a convention of 10,000 football players or musicians, I think 10% would be an extremely optimistic estimate. Need MOAR STEMs!
