Let's be 100% clear: Regardless of whether the document was or wasn't "leaked" before this thread began, it certainly is "leaked" now. It was used as an important point in message that started this thread.

If that was a misstep, someone should own it. If it wasn't a misstep, progress in some areas is going to be harder.

While this is not the topic of the thread, I feel the need to post and respectfully disagree with you on this one.

Based off of what I have read from Ryan, Prath and Nick, it seems this document was handed out into the public domain to FIRST students and non-FIRST students at a "Meet an Engineer" type meeting hosted for all students at their University. You can't "leak" a document in the public domain. As to why it wasn't posted here earlier and when it was, it was done from an anonymous account? I would like to point at a previous post of mine in this thread.

Also note that New England uses a full set of road cases and ships all the carpet to be used in a season in the PODS, which not every district does, and this increases the shipping requirements.

The PODS usually get dropped off at the venue school a few days before the event and sit in the parking lot until they get unpacked and set up. After the field gets torn down, the PODS get loaded, and the company takes them to the next venue.
That certainly is a unique way to do it that I hadn't thought of! I plan on doing a little research to see how much that costs, however do you know how much New England spends over an entire season on PODS?
