While I don't argue that you shouldn't enjoy a nice day in the park away for the hustle-and-bustle of the competition, having stuff like that being portable is actually a brilliant idea. Sure, maybe they shouldn't have done it through the park.
But think about other events not as loud or restrictive as FRC. Maybe at a showing in a fair, during one of their fundraising events, just plain making use of donated/extra parts, etc. I actually want to incorporate a system like that in our new cart, and after looking at a nice Linux distro I just read about, it may turn out pretty awesome.
The thing is, teams just need to learn when and where to use the equipment we build. They were probably just trying to show off, which isn't always too bad.
Btw, this wasn't a personal attack. JMHO.
