It is the lens that I look through, usually when we are at a competition - and I see all of the teams together. I enjoy watching the interactions in the pit area and in the competition venue, itself, knowing what it took to get to the point of teams having their robot competing on the field. The view of the talented students and their mentors and all the volunteers is a goosebumper every single time. I guess that is why it is quiet. Thank you Mark.
