This is a big one for me. Our team was on Archimedes this year, and elected to stay in our seats for opening ceremonies, to ensure we would be able to keep them. There was no audio or video being broadcast to our side of dome. Our team was actually completely unaware that we had won the website award. I found out from a congratulations email that was sent to me on my Blackberry by someone who was watching at home!

I remember in 05 and 06 the location of teams in driver stations didn't change during eliminations, I would love to see this return.

This is a huge pet peeve of mine. For the purposes of accurate record keeping, please list the alliances in the order that they were picked.
