You guys are crazy--in a good way.

I think the biggest problem would be ensuring everybody showed up both weekends; however, that could be worked around I'm sure. You'll probably lose the out-of-area teams that don't want to stay a couple extra weeks, or go and come back, but you won't have to create an artificial boundary to do so; the distance should take care of a lot of that.

If those can be lived with, I think you might be on to one of the best options for bringing districts to areas without the density for normal districts that I've seen (not that I've seen many of those). Something tells me that you'll have a few of the Hawaii teams watching closely if you do go for it.

@lpickett: As noted above, the current venue is rated at 64 teams (the 2013 event hosted 55), so the issue is not space. As I understand the proposal, teams would take their robots home, get 6 hours out of the bag, and bring them back, much like an MI or MAR district setup, but instead of two separate events, play one single event with a much longer timeframe. Imagine being able to take your robot back to your home shop between Friday and Saturday of a regional, and that's the rough equivalent.
