: I would prefer fewer sessions with more time. Let's say 1 or 2 sessions with more time. This would be more efficient use of the precious time we have. I would like to suggest that if this thing is to grow, that someone set up a practice area which would be available at anytime. First come first served, limited to 5 minutes each. That way anyone can test drive thier 'bot at anytime by remote control. Also alliances could practice driving together before the 'big one' up on stage. All you need is some real estate (the parking lot), power, rnets, and some rug.
: I think this would be fun, and the people who just happen to pass through on their way to EPCOT wouldn't have to fight through the crowd to get to a stage that they can't see the action at anyway. Maybe teams could devise some of their own little competitions on the side like tug o' war robots, or tractor pull on these little make shift fields.
: Just my 2 cents.

i think the unofficial practice area idea is good! but if the total max practice time was limited somehow then it'd be a great idea (just to keep it fair).
And putting it in a prime piece of real-estate would be cool too, so that passerbys could see something occasionally.
