The 2009 VEX Robotics Championship Of The Americas was held this weekend at the Omaha Civic Auditorium. Our builders club was asked to come entertain the crowd and hand out an award tonight. Our contact, Allison Pappas, was great. She was everywhere helping everyone with everything the entire event. We were suppose to keep our presence low key so Patches was hidden under a blanket (behind the main stage curtain) waiting for his cue to enter. James filmed the presentation while other builders got Patches ready.
Michelle, Jason, and I setup the table in the lobby while Patches was on stage. Shortly after the award presentation, we got a flurry of people stopping by to ask us what we are all about.
Patches wanted to play Elevation with the other VEX robots.
Patches stopped by the booth to see how we were doing and interact with the crow in the lobby.
Patches stopped by the pit area to interact with more people.
Towards the end of the evening, Patches came back to the lobby for some photo ops with teams leaving for their hotels for the night.
As the evening ended, Patches dome was swapped with the R4 head and he decided to play Dance Dance Revolution.
