I enjoyed watching my team stand in awe of the Poof's mentors for a bit after we'd run into them at Red Robin on Saturday night. That was fun.

It was Team 114. A really nice bot and a nice group. Another FIRST class act.

I spent all day Saturday at BAE giving VIP tours - and I firmly believe in taking each tour over to a team and having them demonstrate their robot.

None of my trips into the pits were planned in advance. Some teams were chosen because the VIP wanted to meet them, some just because their robot was still working and they didn't look too frantic. But, I would have not been able to do that had I not trusted that each team would be able to talk about their robot fantastically....and I was never disappointed.
