So what did you think of the Hall of Fame Display?

[Koko Ed]

Anyone go down to the Hall of Fame display and check it out?
I'm sure the eight teams that set up the displays would appreciate some feedback from the FIRST community on what they thought of the whole thing.

I was there in-between our matches and it really impressed me. I read through everything and it was really interesting everyone did a great job

Thanks Ryan.
Anything particularly stand out? Can you think of anything that can be improved or should be done even more?

It was located in the pits next to the practice field. I wonder if there were more cases of people being unaware of it's existence.

I thought it would be hard to miss it, unless you were in Curie or Galileo and never had the chance to walk by it. I did walk by it a lot, although never had the chance to stop in to look (long walk from pits to fields meant little to no time for looking around ). I did take some good looks at it passing by and from what I saw it looked really cool. The booths were laid out in such a way that I could see them without going in (you could the Scarabian Knights pyramid from anywhere ). The Hall of Fame display is definitely something FIRST should keep in the future Championship events, and hopefully I'll get to visit next time .

I think it would have been better if everyone had to walk through it on the way into the pits. That would have allowed everyone to see it, and more people would have stopped to check it out.

I did take the time to do a quick walk though and found that it was very professional. It was also neat to see the history of these teams since their existence. Overall I think it was a good idea and fairly well done.

I thought it was really cool. I have only been in FIRST for 2 years (team 1018), but I was interested it these teams and the legacy that they have established. Those teams are the ones that people talk about, but I never have seen a formal display like that, and I was happy to see it. Can't wait to see how it expands in to a greater "hall."

I REALLY appreciated it. Comments:

X Cats: your display was very professional, clean to look at
(name forgotten, won 2nd chairman's): Great to see the change as FIRST has grown
ChiefDelphi: bloody excellent
That pyramid team: great display
Baxter: I was really impressed w/ Zippy, very entertaining
HOMER: I wish I had gotten a hold of a puzzle thingy...
Buzz: I can't get over how gosh darn cheerful your display was
Cybersonics: Very professional, loved the lit logo

Just a little clarification. Our name is Double Deuce but I know a lot of teams know us by Homer. It's okay.

I was only able to make a quick stop at it on Saturday and the VIPs were there (including Dean Kamen) so it was rather crowded and I didn't stay as long as I would have liked to.

I would suggest that it be moved out to a more general area where more people (including the public) could see it - in front of the restaurant in the Congress Center perhaps, instead of in the pit area. I believe anyone attending the Home Show would have to walk by that area and what a great way to spread the message of what our Chairman's Award winners are doing!

I definitely agree with that- only a few members from my team went and checked it out. And I guess we can expect that if they keep having something like it each year, its popularity will grow, too.

I didn't get to stay in length due to the business of well EVERYTHING in nationals but I wrather enjoyed what I saw. It was wrather novel and I enjoyed getting to see what truely hall o' fame winners were doing to keep up with their hall of fame status.

And those displays were wrather proffesionally done I was quite impressed.

Great job all you Hall of Famers!
