: I would like feedback from teams that attended the Lone Star Regional this past weekend. Pit Area, Team Party, Food issues (I know eating at the Astro Arena is expensive)but this is out of our control due to an exclusive contract the arena has with Aramark. I sent information to teams prior to the regional for eating places in the area. We know about the webcast from NASA. We almost didn't have one but a big THANK YOU to the people that went the EXTRA MILE to make it happen. Game issues are handled directly by FIRST but as a regional coordinator I can give your feedback to them. Thanks.

Lucia first thanks to you and all your volunteers great job.
The lighting in the pits made it easy to work and you didn't feel like you were in a hole all the time.
Would like to see a big screen or poster with results and rankings, may be a FIRST thing. Had trouble hearing annoucements also, maybe it's cause I'm old. Needs resolution although did not miss any important things.
The food and drink issue needs to be resolved sometime. 3 bucks for a bottle of water? We bring our food with us and eat in the parking lot not only is it cheaper but much more nourishing, also gets us all outside away from the noise for a while.
Team Party good job I think the kids enoyed it even though we had some kids who did not want to join in. Maybe look at some other icebreaker events to get all involved.
