This was probably the most fun I've ever had as a referee in FIRST. Don't worry, we counted all of the hurdled trackballs we "volleyball-ed" back over in the first few matches. The only team we really gave a hard time was 40, and thats because they did the same to us refs when we were playing a match before the real air superiority matches started. We just couldn't let them get away with making us look bad. They were great sports about it too (thanks guys).

After reffing on the field and having to avoid the "bots" and balls as the flew by, it really makes me appreciate the remote-disable feature we have with the arena controls, I don't think running up to a real robot and holding it still for 10 seconds would work as well as it does with the human robots.

Seriously though, loads of fun (both to ref and play) and very entertaining. Perhaps this should be a new BattleCry tradition.

By the way, I think 172 wins the "speedster" award. All he did was run laps each match.
