They did however say that as long as we didn't drive it up alongside the field, and that we were quick with it and didn't get in the way, that it would be fine. Then late on Friday, they flipflopped, again saying that they didn't want it there. After much complaining from our lead mentor (who on numerous occasions has hurt his back lifting our robot onto the field, yielding the forklift design of our cart), they watched us very carefully the next few times we brought it in, and eventually said it would be ok again.

I agree, well allmost, The people who where queuing us (waiting to play) where very nice and orginized.
On the other hand, the lady who was trying to get robots off the field, was quite the opposite, We had the smallest car there. and we where constantly being yelled at, not told, to move hurry up and leave, she didn't even want us to remove our flag from the bot before leaving. If we where any longer then about a full 5 seconds i would get an earful every single time. I found her to be quite rude.
Besides that, that was a perfectly ran event, everything was planned spot on and it ran like clockwork.
