Segway is not likely
 

Yeah Segway loaners would rock but think about how many $5000 Segways that would take. They'd only be able to sell them as used after so they would lose a ton of money. 100s of thousands of dollars. I think that Segway and FIRST have better things to do with the money.

Re: Tunnel?
 

Yeah I was thinking along the lines of a tunnel or elevated walkway.

hmm, why not one of those escalator dealies that they have at airports? expensive yes, but its the lazy mans way of life

can you just imagine if it rained?


walkway doesn't sound so feasible, eh?

People tell me that it rains a lot in Houston at that time of year. Somehow that makes me think that the FIRST people are likely to have thought about that. The people from the venue would have brought it up at the very least. They have to want this to work because it is a very good thing for them.

thats why they chose the reliant complex, it has a movable roof :)

I just hope everyone has a robot transportation device so they don't have to carry it all the way.

From the map, there is a minor access road between the astrodome and the Reliant Stadium. Im assuming that the Reliant Complex people will close off that section of road so teams have a clear path through. Im guessing the distance from the Pits to the fields is about the same as the distance from the middle of the pits to the einstein fieldd (if we were comparing this to EPCOT)

These two pics should give you an idea of the distance -- they actually look quite close...
