Re: PNW robotics teams, what'd you think of the district model?

After some concern from teams, the District actually got more expensive generators to alleviate some of the problem. This was before the season started. The ROOT of the problem is still the lack of power in these small venues.

I don't see this changing next year even though the money has been spent this year to get started. At most events this did not appear to be a problem...if there were teams that had great issues with this we need to hear about them.
We did set up special charging stations at at least one event.

Teams have to learn that they need to use their larger power tools at home during the 6 hours of out of bag time. The other option is to use the machine shop that is provided

If teams had significant problems with the "400 watt rule". They need to let the district know about them.
