Re: "The 24" - Off-season Idea
Ok. This is do-able... suggestions to make it more fun without too much risk on machine handling...

1. Make it a charity competition event... the more points scored in the 24 hours, the more money raised for the charity of the alliance's choice. Do it for fun AND a good cause.

2. Use mega-teams (allow up to 3 FRC team robots to form a Rally-Team to go around the clock)

3. Add some social elements in parallel. Nerds need breaks too. Star-Wars/Star Trek/Real Steel/Iron Giant movie marathon, along with other chilling areas. (ultimate frisbee was a big hit at our RoboJam party in 610's field house.)

4. Follow golf's traditions. Honour system. Call your own penalties.
