Re: Team vehicles - who has one?
We're getting a trailer this year thanks to a new sponsorship. It will be a 2015 model enclosed cargo trailer (I'm not sure of the size or make yet, as the purchase isn't under my control), owned and maintained by the school district, and we will still rely on school district fleet vehicles for towing it and for carrying students.
It would be used ~1-2 times per year for regional tournaments, in addition to any offseason events we may choose to compete in.
The decision was made because we were stuck with the choice of unbagging and disassembling the robot or leaving a student behind on the Thursday morning of our regional because there wasn't enough space in the school district SUV. We didn't want this to happen again, so some shop budget was reallocated for the trailer.
I definitely share Marshall's sentiment about putting some DECALS on it!
