I'm also a bit concerned about the number of things to do. Everyone is doing one thing, putting on innertubes. I'm not sure I like that, I kinda enjoyed last year's variety.

Also, I'm exceptionally concerned that we will not be able to build a rack. That thing was pretty tall at the kickoff and frankly, I don't think the high school has ceilings that high. Where are we going to put it, where could we store it? Maybe our team is the only one with that issue, but it exists.

Like it or not, I would like to thank the GDC for working their posteriors off to make us a great game.
We also have that problem. Our shop ceilings are around 8.5 feet tall. The only place we can store something like this is in a gym, and even then we need to schedule time to use it.

One thing about the rack, the talles spider is 7 feet 8 inches off the ground, which just gives you enough room for that. But if you want to use the vision system and targets, you need the 10 feet.
