I've got more photos of
B_Dubbs hurdling, but somehow I can't load them here. I'll get them onto our website.

The refs were also
on the field, holding back robots that didn't have their hard-hats on, volley-balling the trackballs backwards if they got hurdled, being a general bother, and having a good time. If a team didn't show, some of the refs tried their hand at driving.
I'm glad this was a part of the show. I hope they have the box-bots back next year.
