Practice Field in Michigan
 
Does anyone know where there are or will be good practice fields in Michigan that we can take our robot to and do some testing?

If you're in Owosso the closest place is likely Kettering's FIRST robotics center. I haven't been there, but I've heard good things. You can contact Bob Nichols or Mark Taylor. Their info is on the right side of this page.

We'll have a wood field up as well in Armada. The Byting Bulldogs have had a field up as well, but I don't know their field status this year.

Yes, the Byting Bulldogs will also have one. We'd love to have any nearby teams come practice with us! I will post details when we get it finished(next week or so)

On that note, is it rude to ask for people to BYO fuel. We have some, but not nearly what will be available at an actual match.

I can't imagine it would be.

Not rude at all - I would think expected as a visiting team.

Bedford Express has wood field elements on our practice field if anyone this way is interested in coming down to practice here.

The Bionic Blackhawks will likely be hosting a scrimmage out of our old high school. If anyone is interested, near Bloomfield Hills, let us know by contacting our coach.

We only built one airship, since we don't have space. We will have the retrieval zone as far as possible, but it isn't the right distance still.

Also, I know several other teams around here will do similar things. The most important being Kettering. Kettering will be set up for 3 weeks (0, 1, and 2). Once they get the field set up, it will be the best replication of a match in hundreds of miles.
