Hello Teams!
This thread is to discuss the interest in having an off-season competition in the Richmond (VA) area, hosted by the one and only RAPTAR Robotics!

So:
-Who's interested?
-How much would you be willing to pay for registration($50-250)?
-Names, anyone? (Richmond Riot?, Richmond Rampage? (Richmond doesn't need to be in the name, just a few quick ideas...))
-How long do you think it should last?(1-3 days)
-What time Period should it be?(Pre-Season, Mid-Season(Practice), or right after nats?)

For those teams who've run off seasons:
-What extra equipment is required? I know field operations equip., you can build it out of a trip to radio shack.
-What do you use to keep track of score? Excel?
-Do you have a special prize, or just trophies?
-What is your process for lining up the matches?
-Where do you get your field (Is it your field, or do you "borrow" it from the nearest regional?)
-Space: Do you hold it at your school (I think most of the events I've looked at are at schools, and since we're a homeschooling team, we don't have "facilities". So, we'd either need to partner with another team who's willing to open up their space, or find some space (like a church) that has enough room. I figure a large enough gym for the field, and some large rooms for pits.)

So, what do you think?
