RoboProm 2012

[Reanna]

Roboprom was so much fun. Everyone looked so beautiful.. I loved the costumes, especially the banana. I had to go back to my room to get something, and coming back to the 4th floor, just the lobby, it smelled soooo bad. It was hilarious. All the fist pumping and jumping.. The lady at the front desk told me that people were calling down because they thought there was an earthquake.

I actually have a complaint/concern..
My good friend has tendinitis. She's fine, she wears a band to keep her tenant in place and was allowed to go to championships and roboprom. She was a finalist for "Prom Queen." When the DJ announced that he was going to take the finalists on to the stage, the entire crowd stampeded forward. She and three other girls were not only knocked over, but were also stampeded on. She was in a wheel chair for the rest of championships.
Sorry to have to do this, I just wanted to bring it to your attention and hope for something better next year. Besides that, definitely a highlight of championships. I have so many pictures and memories.

How was it? Like what all happened that made it so fun? Our team didn't attend Champs and I really want to know all about everything that happened so that next time we go to Champs I'll be ready with my Roboprom date and you know, so we can emulate it at our party coming up. Hope to see you there! And tell your friend that 2073 extends our upmost sympathy for what happened to her

We are so sorry for what happened to your good friend. We make every effort to make the event safe and fun. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention, we will put this into our lessons learned file and continue to improve the event. Our team has a lot of fun putting on RoboProm and hope to see you again next year.

Thank you again.

So...
where were the chaperones when this happened?

It might be wise to ask for Crowd Control next year if there is a stampede and there are no adults able to maintain control of it.

Wow, just wow.
