WPI offers dorm rooms for participants staying at Battlecry. I am not sure the exact details, but you should contact them about that. It's also much cheaper than a hotel, from what I hear.

There will be an additional scoring opportunity in the middle of the field. It shall consist of a 2 ft diameter flat Lexan target centered 8 1/2 ft above the floor facing the field ends. It has a neutral starting position but, through ball contact, may be activated to favor either the Red or Blue alliance. (E.G., contacts made by balls thrown towards the Red home zone will tend to move the target to favor the Red alliance.) Its status at the end of the match determines which alliance, if either, gains the 10-point bonus. There will be real-time feedback throughout the match to indicate if and when the target is favoring a particular alliance. It may be engaged anytime during a match by either alliance. There will NOT be any vision system target above it. While it may be engaged by a human player or back-bot, ball shots from either of these would tend to move the target in favor of the opposing alliance.

So, is this like a tug-o-war style (more times you hit it is better) thing or a possession (last ball to hit it) thing?
