Yes, the Secret Service did want plenty of time to inspect the equipment. All the robots with limited tools and minifields were driven down to the White House on Friday by a mentor, Lou Rosanio (the FVC and FLL teams shipped their robots to us, we used our own FLL and FVC fields). Lou said they were very interested in them - beyond security concerns - but the funniest part is that MOEzilla didn't fit in the storage area they designated, so he spent the weekend in the First Lady's office! Unfortunately we didn't get pictures.
Speaking of pictures, I'm in the process of posting some that I have with me, so check in a couple of hours.
