Were these the conferense sesisons that you are speaking about? I wasn't aware that any had changed.

3. Pit announcements... we couldnt really hear them. I was thinking maybe they could have a board or monitor in each divisions pits to place the announcements that were just made so teams can recheck.

Not only were they unintelligible and WAY too loud, the Vex Pit Admin was admonished for using our microphone to make an announcement to our teams- apparently we were not allowed to do so unless it was an emergency!

7. Food in the pits... I get the no food in the pits, but they do at least need to allow water bottles. Our students and mentors were constantly dehydtrated because of course the robot & team come before getting food or water. We finally stashed a bunch in the back of the pit but felt like hoodlems for "breaking" the rule.
