There was an elephant in the room? I had no idea!

Actually, 10 teams doesn't sound all that much but maybe there are more teams who feel the same way and will provide that information to the planning committee.

If judged awards are gone permanently, that puts the emphasis on the robot and the robot competition and that impact will increase as time passes - which is fine if that is what it is all about. It would make it harder for someone like me to travel to an event like IRI when I see more than the robot and look at the spirit of the team and like to recognize that.
