Paper Airplanes!

[Mr V]

Again as with the trash outside the lobby area before the concert last year the I feel the blame lies squarely on FIRST and not the teams, students, and mentors. (On that note they did hire an outside company to actively maintain the facility through out the event and there were so many more trash cans through out the facility than last year.)

There was just way too much time spent waiting with nothing to do but watch the videos we had all seen dozens of times between matches. That meant, as many others have noted, that people were going to find ways to entertain themselves whether good or bad.

A couple of simple easy suggestions to have avoided this problem. Instead of replaying that same video loop we had all see so many times how about playing the Chairman's videos from the RCA winners, or instead of the FIRST has talent show being part of the finale have those participants that aren't doing something vital and important to the preparations do whatever their talent is during that waiting time.
