Both of those things are FIRST issues, the pneumatic thing is part of the rules, and the schedule is set by the FIRST event management. The alliance selection seems to be a complaint of many.

3. Parking=joke I personally spent over $300 in gas to get our pit tools there only to find out that I couldn't have access to my trailer cause I had to leave it 4 blocks away at the hotel.... and to segway ( pun intended) into the other joke
4. Food. Do people really think Highschool kids and parents are made of money. People should stop worshiping money and do something about this.
Both parking and food have already been identified as major issues that will be adressed for next year.

Thanks for all comments so far.
