Thats some good PR to be in the printed guide, especially in color. Personally I am more interested in the Segway challenge, If someone from FIRST doesn't win that I will be deeply upset.

It was pretty cool, they had an obstacle course set up and whoever did it the fastest won. However, you had to pay six dollars to try it once, so not many people were doing it.

Well i would imagine that since this was public that they were following segway's printed specs to the letter. This was 1) so not to break their units, and 2) to give an accurate betral of the segway specifications.

On a side note ... I was downtown for a business dinner on Thursday evening and saw some of those "freaks". Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to go to the show - I might have tried my hand at the Segway challenge ...

They were the ones with the big off-road tires.
