: By the way, if you are going to nationals, here is a special treat for you: at 11:06am EST on Saturday, walk outside the competition tents and look east. If the weather is clear, you will have a wonderful view from Orlando of the 2001 Mars Odyssey launch. For more information on the mission, and updates on the launch preparations, check

Do you think FIRST will adjust the lunch break to account for this? Just thinking of the poor guy who was giving a paper one year in Cocoa Beach at a technical conference. They made him stick to his time slot even though a shuttle launch was scheduled. Nobody knows if he gave it or not, everyone else was outside on the beach. By the time they all came back in it was time for the next paper.
Unfortunately that was the year they sent a co-worker instead of me.
