What does everyone think of the fact that elimination rounds and qualifying rounds were nothing alike because the latter rewarded defense and the former did not? I think it's too bad that some teams were perfectly designed for the elim. rounds (like one of the champs, team 25) but were seeded poorly because their tactics weren't rewarded in qualifying rounds. That's like having the NCAA Basketball tournament turn into a football game at the Final Four (I think someone may have mentioned this before.)
All-in-all this was an amazingly well run and well designed competition. FIRST has outdone themselves.

PS Anyone else forget how much Dean can captivate an audience? I've never seen so many (normally hyper-energetic) people so attentive in my life. He really is amazing.

PPS Was anyone else REALLY impressed when the wrap video was filled with excellently edited film clips that had happened only minutes before? Or the time lapse video of the competition site? So cool.
