Re: Two Story Pit Area?

You can dream about this, but won't ever do it. Kyle failed to mention the part when his team mentors said "no way".

A 2-story pit at a FIRST event is a safety hazard. It will cause more negative attention from facility administrators, insurance lawyers and safety personnel not familiar with FIRST. We don't need more of these people nosing around the pits.

This is NOT a good idea. Please, people, don't try to develop 2 story pits or push FIRST to allow them. The attention we will get won't be good.
