Tron-X was sited at the main entrance of the arena – you could not enter without seeing him. He spoke French most of the time and informed visitors about the IVTO and the competition. |

Blue was the predominant colour on the Festo booth. The booth overlooked the entire arena (background) The booth allowed Festo to cater for industrial customers who were invited to the show, and to show our technical education and vocational training customers what Festo offers. |

Until Montréal, Mechatronics was the only team trade- all the others were just a single individual. Now the demonstration Landscape Gardening is also a team event. Note the Festo booth at the top right with a view commanding the entire main arena. | |||||
