Or it might be an unannounced trip to the Nike store. Our #1 driver once "disappeared" for an hour or two when he thought we had no chance of making the elimination rounds.

By the time he got back, we had played and been eliminated, and he knew a bit more about FRC tournament structure and had a MUCH deeper understanding of field trip ettiquite.

But thankfully we had a backup driver ready to go!
