I was on the my way up from a trip in Florida when I got the call. I did not realize they would put it up on the FIRST site so quickly.
The walk between the pits and competition field is about 1 min give or take a couple seconds. I'm not sure about the exact distance but it is not more than a couple 100 feet. Also the only "ramps" are short (like 15 ft) 14 or so degree inclines one down from the pits and one up to the competition fields (kinda like a loading dock).
I'll try to keep my excitement to a minimum and let FIRST give out all the info as they see fit.
We will make this the best Nats. ever. Welcome to Atlanta!
P.S Don't lose faith M. A lot of thought has already been put into this site and a lot more will be to make it an event to remember.
