: Hi all, time again for the question of the week, enjoy...

: Question 10/15/00: Do you think the main stage in florida should be set up in a different way. For instance should the seating arangements be changed, should a tent be put around it, etc....?

Considering the size that the main stage has to be, it would most likely be more trouble than it was worth to have the entire thing(stage, bleachers, etc.) enclosed in a VERY large tent...

Also, I know it has been brought up in the past of having a more 'stadium-style' seating arrangement for the main stage. At the same time, however, it has to be considered that in the interest of being able to continue the matches without damage to the robots in the event of less-than-perfect weather, it is important that the playing field area still be adequately covered. Because of this requirement, it would be very hard to set up a different style of seating arrangement where all spectators would be able to see.

What about this though....with the three fields that were in the smaller tent this year, what if they were to have the entry for the robots at one end of the tent rather than along a side, then have designated paths behind the bleachers from the entry point to an opening in the bleachers for a specific playing field. While I'm sure there would have to be a few traffic control problems with this setup, I'm envisioning that it would allow bleachers to be set up on both sides of the playing field, rather than one side being dedicated for team queuing like it was this past year...

Nate
