:^) so many questions... the field was in the actual arena part of the astroarena where all the seats, etc are. As for pit space, the pits where in the lobby area just in front of the arena. this was convenient for getting robots to the field, on the down side, I think it will ultimately limit the expansion of the regional. There's only so much space there, so something else will have to be worked out eventually.
The team party was held in a part of the astrohall, complete with DJ, laser light show, and great food. (Fajitas and mexican food... mmm... I hope dean's listening and making a menu for nationals...)
Finally the whole tigers, leopards fiasco. As you've probably heard, the mighty Exxon has merged with Mobil to create a near unstoppable oil company. On the downside, this means that our team is sponsored by Exxon-Mobil and not Exxon. The brilliant legal department of said company decided that Exxon-Mobil couldn't be associated with a Bengal-type tiger. Our team was crestfallen, but we figured we could just be white tigers... nope. no tigers. So we decided we'd be the leopards and put a bit less trust in Exxon-Mobil in matters concerning establishing a unique team identity. On the plus side, leopard fur is remarkably more fasionable than bright orange tiger fur..... cooler too, much to our mascots' delight. anyways, now that I've described my view of the lonestar regional, hows about someone give me their viewpoint? :^)
