Re: [FVC]: Longer competitions
I think 2 day tournements are a good idea only for "large" tournements with 30+ teams. Competing at Penn or Toronto, each team had only 4 matches to show their robot. With 2 days the entry fee may increase by 1.5x, but it will also allow mentors and students to network/socialize on friday night as well (as Kathie mentioned).
