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!

Seriously, we're getting a 14ft x 7ft trailer for this coming year. It's exciting. I'm eager to start putting sponsor and team logos all over it!

Also, our school will own it and get it tagged and insured. We'll have to pay for the insurance fees but they will be small.

If your team has a team vehicle, I'd be interested in hearing about the following details:.....

Are you guys even reading OP's question? I know your excited but tons of teams have trailers, he is asking about vehicles.
