On behalf of the Visit Indy bid for the Indianapolis FIRST Championships, we had a good crew working on layout solutions for FRC, FTC, and FLL in Lucas Oil Stadium (LOS) and the Indianapolis Convention Center (ICC).
To walk robots and drive teams back and forth between the ICC and LOS reminded us of Houston in 2003, which was not optimal. So, having FRC pits in ICC and fields (except for Einstein) in LOS was not an option. However, we still have two good layout plans.
Our #1 suggestion is to have all of FRC in the ICC and then FLL and FTC in LOS.
Our #2 suggestion is to have all of FRC in LOS, with pits and fields. FTC and FLL would then be in ICC.
Once FIRST makes their decision within a few weeks, we may post more regarding the details of this layout in Indy. I can attest that there have been many people working hard on this, and the above two options are good plans.
Sincerely,
Andy Baker
