I am posting this now because the Festival is accepting proposals from students to bring an exhibit to the Expo on the Mall and giving $250 grants to help. Due Jan. 31, 2010.

Woot! On this Festival web page (09_SDSF_Recap_Video), you can see guests using the 5th Gear simulation of FIRST's Overdrive game at the recent 2009 San Diego Science Fair.

Freeze the video at 1:12 to see the 6 student/player's faces.
Freeze it at 1:13 to see the simulated robots and track balls on a laptop screen.

I looked for other FIRST material in the video but didn't spot any. Regardless, I think there were (at least) a few San Diego area bots exhibited in that festival.
