So what did you think of the Hall of Fame Display?

I think it would have been better if everyone had to walk through it on the way into the pits. That would have allowed everyone to see it, and more people would have stopped to check it out.

I did take the time to do a quick walk though and found that it was very professional. It was also neat to see the history of these teams since their existence. Overall I think it was a good idea and fairly well done.

I thought it was really cool. I have only been in FIRST for 2 years (team 1018), but I was interested it these teams and the legacy that they have established. Those teams are the ones that people talk about, but I never have seen a formal display like that, and I was happy to see it. Can't wait to see how it expands in to a greater "hall."

I REALLY appreciated it. Comments:

X Cats: your display was very professional, clean to look at
(name forgotten, won 2nd chairman's): Great to see the change as FIRST has grown
ChiefDelphi: bloody excellent
That pyramid team: great display
Baxter: I was really impressed w/ Zippy, very entertaining
HOMER: I wish I had gotten a hold of a puzzle thingy...
Buzz: I can't get over how gosh darn cheerful your display was
Cybersonics: Very professional, loved the lit logo

Just a little clarification. Our name is Double Deuce but I know a lot of teams know us by Homer. It's okay.

I was only able to make a quick stop at it on Saturday and the VIPs were there (including Dean Kamen) so it was rather crowded and I didn't stay as long as I would have liked to.

I would suggest that it be moved out to a more general area where more people (including the public) could see it - in front of the restaurant in the Congress Center perhaps, instead of in the pit area. I believe anyone attending the Home Show would have to walk by that area and what a great way to spread the message of what our Chairman's Award winners are doing!

I definitely agree with that- only a few members from my team went and checked it out. And I guess we can expect that if they keep having something like it each year, its popularity will grow, too.
