Since the field ships on multiple big rig trucks the movement of the fields is no small effort (travelling salesman optimization anyone?). Great job FIRST HQ for making this happen every year!

Agreed; in some ways it's amazing that we have as many events as we do. The volunteers give a ton to make it happen.
