We're pretty excited to host the first VA district. Many of the region's best teams will be there, so it'll be great to watch with a front-row seat. My team is 30-35 minutes from my house, so no complaining about a 15 minute drive from the hotel 
Turns out that Doswell is during the tail end of the school's Spring Break, so limited access to the shop & robot in the week prior to the event would have been a killer. We did a team meeting about which 2nd event to attend, and the only absolute sway for a week 4 event came from the programmers (of course it would  ).
It'll be interesting to see how Kettering's back-to-back events work out. Since our districts are in high schools (afaik) I don't know if the same thing is plausible. |
That's an interesting option, I know smaller universities have some of the same issues that high schools have. CNU has been on our radar for a district event and the Rumble in the Roads for years, but getting them to give us their main gym has been difficult because they need it for practice. I can imagine trying to get it for multiple weekend would also be more difficult.
