I feel sorry for the crew that had to come behind our students and clean the dome all for the sake of a quick laugh in between matches. I wonder what they think of FIRST after World? What does that say loudly about us?

I think that they could be a cool tradition, if FIRST emphasizes picking up the ones left in the stands and not throwing them during matches and speeches. Right now their reaction more seems to be ignoring the paper airplanes and hoping they go away, which obviously isn't working...
