It was always fun to watch the FLL kids' expressions as they entered the stadium for the first time; I'm sure it's the same for the FRC and FTC teams.

There have been so many great encounters with wonderful people over the years that are just too numerous to list.
So true, Gary!

-I'll always have fond memories of the tunnel (especially the cheap pop ; )
-Playing soccer/frisbee in the courtyard
-Seeing the Georgia Dome from above as we flew into Atlanta (the only time we did) my sophomore year
-Having Woodie Flowers kiss our robot, and then winning our match immediately afterward
-All the good times we had in the two biggest hotels I've ever seen
-Running through the fountains in Centennial Park
