Since it was so hot outside in the sun, and since the view was much
better on the TV monitors in the pit, out team decided to watch the
finals from inside the nice air conditioned pit. There were quite a
few others camped under the big screens in the center of the pit
cheering on their favorite teams. There was no way everyone would last
in the stands to watch all the finals (from the octafinals on down) and
we wanted our students to see all the finals matches, so I think our
plan worked well. However, I know the feeling of standing on the stage
with tons of people cheering for your team. It must have been
disapointing for the teams on the stage not to have a full house
cheering like in previous years.

Finally, I just want to say... Great job WildStang!!! Your robot is
truely awesome this year!
