Usually our team just has the core mechanical crew, a scouting person, and a couple people from the animation crew come with for the first "practice" day events. The rest of the team shows up either that night at the hotel, or the next morning, depending on the distance. Mechanical comes for uncrating, upgrades, and driving. Scouting comes to see what the competition is like, who to look out for and whatnot. Animation kids come with to help judge the animations on thursday. Animation is a point of pride in our program, so we make sure to support it any way we can.
