But about the 34'th time watching it, I'm seeing that WALL OF BLUE BANNERS and the space you are playing in.

Can you post a few words on where that is? That has got to be the nicest practice space I've ever seen. At the 0:43 second mark there are some pretty neat vehicles in the background.

IIRC, Team 118's workspace is in the Staging Zone of the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, right beside the full-size mockup of the International Space Station. When I was there over the summer, there was a full-size FRC Practice Field set up there, with the blue banners in a huge circle around it.

I was freaking out during the tour because I didn't know this beforehand, and the tour guide had no idea what I was freaking out about.

Yeah it's in Building 9 at Johnson Space Center. They moved their last season. You can see some more of it in their 2015 reveal video as well, along with the NASA Robonaut hanging out. It is an awesome place to visit and practice with them.

118 congrats on another awesome robot, good luck with your journey up north.

I learned this when I read the book that came with this year's KOP. Definitely couldn't have a better location IMO.
