Re: 2264 on the news

Vivek,
That is great coverage and a very nice piece. What a great idea to take some of this year's game and modify it for the audience and the space alloted. Nice job!

Ditto the above comment. While demos are interesting, holding a modified robot competition which fits the venu is genius. Great use of a "devious mind" to create something that several teams could compete in daily & which culminates in a cliffhanger "Championship" event. Thanks Vivek for posting the link; fantastic coverage.

Re: 2264 on the news

I wasn't part of the planning for this. There were about 10-15 teams involved through the entire 12 days of the fair (it's still going on).

It really was a well planned event.

thanks, Vivek
