I was at GTRE and arrived at my hotel around the time the RoboDawgs trailer was stolen. I felt horrible. Then I went to setup at the venue, and the FIRST Robotics Canada people were already thinking of ways to get them things - parts from IFI Canada, shirts from the regional t-shirt sale (since their suitcases were in the stolen trailer), laptops... It was an amazing thing to see everyone coming together.
I read on twitter than when 801 made it to the field the whole venue stood up and cheered for them, and I nearly cried with joy.
The FIRST community can truly be a beautiful thing.
