This would be an interesting way to get new students up to speed. Getting school permission will be tough at that time of year, but we are interested nonetheless :D.

Such a small percentage of people in FIRST understand what a hassle this actually is.

I couldn't imagine how hard it must be for some teams to do certain events. With us as long as we have the money and enough student interest* we can do an event.

*students who are committing to go if we were to go to the event.

Ok, 456 is in. We just registered and are looking forward to this event. It sounds epic!

Having participated in some endurance racing via 24 hours of Lemons and Chump car, I can say that around 2AM, it feels like a really long day, and then you realize you are only 1/2 way through... Get some folks on an out of sink schedule and be sure to get some sleep.

Also, please be safe:
People tend to make poorer choices after long periods of sleep deprivation and also are more prone to accidents:

Would you please expand on what you mean by “Teams will be required to have multiple drive teams and multiple robot repair teams that alternate throughout the event.”? Is there some minimum number of team members required to compete? Will teams be required to have separate drive teams and pit crews or is overlap required? Will teams be required to swap drivers/pit crews every, say, 6 hours or was this statement more of a suggestion?

I know 1511 is looking at this with interest, but probably couldn't bring enough of the team to make the necessary swaps. Maybe smaller teams can form an alliance and share robot driving responsibilities either with one robot or even swapping out the robot based on the drive team. Based on seeding for eliminations, you could have a rule that determines which teams' robot is used. (ex: if you are the higher seed, your opponent gets to pick the robot, if you are the lower seed, your alliance gets to pick the robot.)

We've been joking about doing this during a practice match so all of us students can heckle our mentors the way our drive coach does to us. :p

You guys make me really want to attend this event. Like i might have to buy a plane ticket just to witness this madness.

When I first saw this I thought "man that would be amazing, but I seriously doubt my guys would go for it" then next day my dad is telling me half the team already wants to go no questions asked. I didn't even know they knew or went on CD. :p 4080 will be there. :)

I know some of 1089's drive coaches & alumni are night owls. MAYBE we can convince someone to let us do this!

If anyone from Michigan decides to head out to this, and has room for an extra person, send me a pm please.

I'm definitely interested, I'm just not overly interested in making the trip out by myself.

Also, I'll be back in school then. Depends on what my schedule looks like then.
