Re: have any teams had any luck approaching local malls for spaces to practice?

If the mall has an empty store it might not be a bad idea. I would not want to do it in the hallway. Last year Chapel Hills Mall let us use an empty store to build our robot. The space was big enough for about half the field and it worked out well for us. This year the mall does not have an empty space that they will let us use. I think the economy has improved enough that they do not want to pass up a chance to rent the space. This year we will build in a temopary/modular classroom (trailer).
