That was a great robot and the accolades were well-deserved.

Hey - we were sitting in front of you and some parents/grandparents (one older gentleman gave me the evil eye ;o)) thought we were standing for every match (and getting in their view of the field) for no reason. I tried to explain to them that we were really 2 teams (1296 and 3310 - sister high schools from the same district that traveled together), both in the semifinals. So it probably seemed like we were standing all the time - sorry for that.

Guys

No worries! I wasn't in the stands much at Bayou but I am sure your folks were just trying to support the teams. As you saw we had a large group in the stands and I hope we were respectful of others while at the same time getting into the spirit of the matches.

From where I was sitting (when I sat), it looked like the whole section was rockin' the stands. It was one big happy party for everyone.
