"extreme product testing"... yeah, I like that.
We can make more omni wheels.

Key volunteers on each field will be asked to determine who the 4 fastest robots are by Friday at lunch. By then, they will see practice matches and a couple of Q matches. I will collect names and then we (Mark or Nick or myself) make personal invites to those teams. Teams will need to let us know soon if they want to do this or not.
I am pretty sure that we are running on the pavement, without carpet. There will be alliance stations out there, power for the OI's, and some Mode Switches to help start things equally.
I can understand the concern for lack of carpet. If this is a problem for the invited teams, they can simply deny the invitation. This is simply a fun thing to do.
