Re: Where do YOU practice driving?
Our school doesn't have much space. We build in the Biology lab on the 6th floor and during the first half of the season this year, we had to clean up every day so students can come in the mornings to do their labs.
We usually practice in the hallway and have enough carpet for about a quarter of the field. The carpet is rolled up and stored in the back of a classroom at the end of the day. The main game elements (chute, platform, step, totes) are put back into a corner of the lab or in our storage room (a.k.a. repurposed boys' bathroom).
When the athletic department is done using the gym in the basement, we do get permission to practice there but have to clean up afterwards and be careful not to scuff up the floor so we generally don't use it until we have a completed robot.
All in all, we get a lot of practice setting up and taking down our mini-field.
