Even if they, by some act of the robot god, were able to fit 128 pits and 4 fields in there, you would have to go up and down steps to get everywhere, and I don't know about you, but when you have a 60lb. cart and a 50lb. bot, that would suck on day one. It wouldn't even work for a SMALL qualifier. Maybe the Saudi Arabia qualifier where there are literately 7 teams in the country, but not 128 teams from all over. Is this a joke?
I toured the location before I left championships, did you go in and see the large ballrooms? I was able to find ramps to the ballroom from the large areas of the facility, the only area where I had to walk up and down steps was the foodcourt.
