On the off chance you get down time, a deck of cards. I know down time is non existant but sometimes it happens.

Certainly enough parts and tools to rebuild the bot from the frame up.
Camping chairs as they compact nicely.
Extra parts from the KOP that you didn't use. (barter material never hurts)

Good organization and practical storage works. You don't need a fancy charging cart. Something that's got room for about 4 chargers that slips under a table is good. Just make sure you have it vented.

VA regional I know is usually 10x10. Most teams use up every inch of it. Some more, some less. I've even seen tempers flare up over closer quarters so just remember to graciously share the space with your neighbors.
