Well, the World Championship isn't THAT big... Only 151 middle school teams... And 400 high school teams... For a total of 551 teams... With usually at least 4 members in each team. So that's only... Woah... 2204 people... Yeah, you're right, I don't know if the convention center can fit any more!

Don't forget 47 college teams. Those are typically bigger teams, too...

You guys are underestimating the size of the convention center. All the teams could probably fit in just one hall but we have 2. There are a total of 4 halls that the other events will be using.

[tutman96]

That is true. FYI my team has 14 people. :-)

Also, if you see people running around in white suits, say hi to them.

Hmm... question for you. What if you were given the choice between meeting:

1) A TV star from a science-related show.
2) A Nobel prize winner.
3) An Astronaut.
4) An extremely successful high-tech entrepreneur.

Which would you choose?

Personally, I'm kind of torn between #2 and #3...

#3, but only if they flew Mercury, Gemini or Apollo.

Im pretty sure Kari Byron will be the emcee again

[FirePhoenix]

It'd be cool if someone like Bill Gates came. It would probably inspire a lot of people. But I like Kari Byron. She was really funny last year. I wonder if Bill Nye could come. Everybody would be so excited.

3 or 4.

But I'd only want 3 if they flew Mercury, Gemini or Apollo...

I think it would be really cool if the Google guys came down. (Larry Page and Sergey Brin)

I met Don Pettit of ST-126... He grew up 40 miles from where I live and went to the College I want to attend. His brother Tom, works at HP Corvallis, OR, and was a mentor on FRC Team 957 when I was a mentor.
