The pit and the arena at the Pittsburgh FIRST robotics competition during the alliance selection phase. Almost all the teams are in the stands and watching the selection process. The alliance selection is a crucial part of the competition - the top 8 seeded teams from the qualifying matches choose partners with which they form an alliance - giving the chosen teams a chance to be on the winning alliance. |

I took this gigapan while I was on the field presenting the gigapan to the Pittsburgh FIRST regional. It's a little small and doesn't get the full size of the audience, cause I only had time to take about a 30 picture Gigapan. If you were there and don't see yourself, you can probably find yourself in one of the many other gigapans of the competition (search pittfrc09 to see all of them). |

This gigapan was shot over about five minutes - time for one match to end, the arena to be cleared, and another match to begin. |
