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).

Jeremy,
I am excited about Atlanta but I know that many many folks are worried about the ramp issue and to a lesser degree, the distance to the pits.
Getting inside the dome building is one thing, getting to the field you have to play on is another.
How sure are you about this (especially the flat walk)?
Is the playing field on ground level? Many of the fields I am familar with have the field in a hole, below grade.
How long do you estimate it will take to get from one corner of the football field surface to the opposite corner?
I am not complaining, I am just asking.
Finally, I don't think it is spilling the beans or stealing FIRST's thunder to put our minds at rest on these issues, but you will have to decide what Gracious Professsionalism requires in this instance (especially if FIRST more or less made you swear on a stack of bibles not to devulge any such details).
Thanks.
Joe J.
