Talking Re: Qualifying for CMP in the future

Get more pit space (as far as I understood, we only occupied part of the convention center), and bam, you have doubled CMP capacity, and just have to adjust the schedule, and speeches and stuff on Einstein to make more time to hold 8-12 more matches on Einstein.
It would be tight, yes, but it could be done.

Might need a few extra curtains for modifying the directionality of the sound from each field.
lets do it ... or make our own multi billion dollar facility specially designed for FIRST and championships
