Re: Bag & Tag

One year we got shipping for a crate donated by a local company. Cost them about $400 each way, by LTL truck. We had a company near the destination donate 16 square feet of their loading dock to accept the delivery, and rented a van to haul everything to the venue.

Teams CAN ship things if necessary - even robots.

On the other hand, renting a large van (like a Sprinter) worked really well for us in Virginia last year. Almost 30 MPG, and enough room to fit everything, with room to spare for 2 more teams easily. Less than $800, round trip including fuel.
