Re: Bringing Food into Competition Venues

From what I remember I don't think there is any food actually sold at Arizona, so everyone just orders stuff and eats it in the parking lot outside the arena. Of course that could just be my team and me not looking enough to see the hidden concession stands, but I'm pretty certain on this one.

Take all the orders in the morning, have a few parents/mentors drive to get it and tell everyone to meet in the parking lot during the lunch break. Send a few people in to watch the pit/robot while the drive team inhales their food, then switch again.

This is not breaking the rules since you are not bringing food in (it could be argued that maybe you're breaking the "spirit" of the rule, but at least at our Regional you do this or don't eat), and you still get cheaper food than you might find at the venue.
