Yes, the tent was very loud. We once had to step outside the tent to discuss strategy and we almost missed a match because of it. We came back in the tent and noticed that our robot was gone. We ran to the stage just in time to see Raul shaking his head at us

. We did have time to work out the strategy though. Although it would be nice to turn it down a little in the pits so we wouldn't have needed to go outside.
