Re: 2005 Rochester off season comp ideas and so thread

Price: Depends on what you can get donated. Venue? Sound system (if required... you'll need it w/ an MC) ? A real field from FIRST? (transport costs....)
Easily $2000 (i would guess just in field ship costs)

When: Before School's out.

MC: Why not...
Real FIRST field or pvc: Real field.

top notch real tie competition with awards or exhibition and lots of fun?
Might as well do it big.

1 or 2 days? 1 day. Hotel costs kill semi-local teams, and i don't think
2 days of commuting from Ithaca would be fun.

who will help and maintain the field? Anyone you can find.

who will help and make sure everything in the pits is alright and OK! Anyone you can find.

who will volunteer as refs or crew members? Anyone you can find.

Any other ideas?
I know the exhibition last spring cost some serious $. (I prolly have the figures somewhere... )
Keep in mind. Every $ spent on this kind of thing reduces the amount of $ that could be spent:
1. Lego League
2. Starting new teams.
3. Starting new regionals.
4. all the other stuff i forgot.
