It took us about an hour of driving to get to Calgames. Our team made going to Calgames mandatory this year, and I don't think anyone complained.

My team's other self-taught designer and I are very willing to go anyways, but I've long since learned that others may not have the same priorities as me regarding Robotics.

I think more people will be willing to travel a bit farther if this CAD-a-thon is made into a huge multi-team all day event, like Calgames or WRRF workshops. I, for one, would be more willing to travel for, say, a 8-hour event with more people than a short 4-hour event with less people.

You think we can organize something like this before next build season? A CAD-a-thon, physically in Bay Area and electronically worldwide.
