Also, at times when the noise level from the FRC field went up, I saw IGVC competitors lifting their heads up from their laptops and shaking their head in frustration because it was very hard for them to concentrate. However, I think that TARDEC inviting FRC teams to come to that event was a really neat thing, as I (and some other people from my team) learned a lot from IGVC teams by walking around the pits and by listening to some presentations.
I agree that next year the events should be separated, as an off-season 'fun-competition' had a negative impact on the IGVC competition.
