Hey everyone!
This year I was able to go to the FRC championship purely as a spectator; as such I happen to have a lot of free time at the event this year... And I also happened to get my hands on a Gigapan!
For those of you who do not know what a Gigapan is, it is simply a robotic pan/tilt device that you mount on a tripod that aids you in taking pictures in such a way that they can be later stitched together to make one large panoramic picture! These pictures can often end up being quite enormous, sometimes up into the gigapixel range! (Hence the giga in Gigapan)
Anyways, with my new camera I aim to take as many panoramic pictures from this years event as possible and I'll be sure to post all of them here! I can't promise more than one per day since on my laptop it usually takes at least 3 hours depending on the amount of pictures to put them all together and another hour to upload it.
For my first picture I present to you a view of the courtyard between the pit building and the arena:

There were actually many more people in the courtyard than appear in the picture, it just so happened that they were all moving around and since there is a sizable amount of time between pictures you don't always see everyone. (Sometimes you may even see the same person twice

) And also some people may get partially cut off through the stitching software.
Feedback and suggestions for future pictures are welcome!
Enjoy!
