Yes they wanted to charge each team $1000 for moving the crates from the truck to the pit space and back. FIRST WA was able to talk FIRST into covering those costs.

So yeah having it shipped via one of the trailers PNW FIRST has been using for the district events or a common carrier is out of the question as it would be prohibitively expensive.
