If I'm seeing this correctly it looks like the pits are layed out different than than they have been in the past.

It appears there are more "columns" now instead of long rows.

Is it me or does it seem like there's less walking room than the last 3 years, particularly around the inspection stations? Must mean there's more to do and see :D

yeah. to me it seems like archimedes has moved. Last year wasn't archimedes in the place that curie is in now?

Re: 2009 Championship Pit Map
 

Last season, the size of the pits was diminished to accomodate damage to the facility from that tornado and, one assumes, because the World Congress Center was trying to rebook and accomodate as many of their bookings as possible.

This year, it appears as if we're stuffed back into the same small space; maybe FIRST knows something about the weather that we don't.

Re: 2009 Championship Pit Map
 

Or maybe they realized it worked in a small space, so maybe they could save $$ on a small one again this year? I don't agree with it, but I could see the logic.

:ahh:

edit --- it's 2:42 ... I'm determined to wait for the :47 mark...durn raffle tickets...

Re: 2009 Championship Pit Map
 

Definitely a tighter squeeze for FRC than last year as rows have been turned 90 degrees elongated and confined to hall closest to the dome and less room around the practice fields too...expect more shouts of "ROBOT COMING"!

Re: 2009 Championship Pit Map
 

...which, upon closer inspection, have columns right in the middle of the field? Really?

Last year they were setting up for a car show on Friday for the weekend.
