HA I BEAT EVERYONE TO POSTING ABOUT IT

Well the day went very well i will hightlight some stuff for you guys at home. Well our team got there and we got there a little late about 7:20 when we could get in at 7 to unpack the robot. You could only take your big cart and all the tools down the freight elevators and the line for that was really long. Now what is really weird is that the pit is all the way down like underground and you have to go down 3-4 escaltors to get to it....cant remember went up and down to many times. Now the walk from the pits to the georgia dome isnt that bad for the drivers its about 3 min, but for the fans its horrible! You have to go all the way back up the escaltors and then outside and down another escaltor and then you can walk in the Dome to your seat. Its about a 8-10 min walk and i mean if your team go's out late its hard for everyone to make it to the stands to see you compete. THE WEBHUG WAS AWESOME. We all met they gave out a couple of awards and we just met everyone i met so many Awesome people that were on my list Dlavery, Brandon Martus, Amanda Morrison, Andy Baker, Koko Ed and many more. I think Koko Ed is the coolest guy. The two people i havent met yet that i really want to is DJ FLUCK he runs around in the panther costume and we call him and he acts like its not him lol and John V-neun(he missed the webhug ). The practice matches went really well and for everyone at home youare going to see a exciting nationals. The had the real prototype of the Mars Landers and they are going to drive it around tommorow so thats is going to be cool. OVer all everything was fun. The FIRST hall of fame is really cool. Well i am out
