Steve,
Last year our sponsor Ethicon didn't have the room any longer for us to build an arena onsite, so we resorted to one of their Day and Die tool warehouses, They opened up more than enough space for us to build a full sized arena, but the only draw back was that our team was split during meetings between Ethicon and TRIAD (which was the building we had our arena in)
However, this year is a different story, after talking with the Ethicon Engineers they were able to clear a space for our FIRST team, so now we are back together in one building for every meeting that the team has, the only problem is that we would have to build a partial arena if the field is as big as it was last year, but after our robot is complete we will make a full size arena at TRIAD and have the meetings there so the drivers can get all the practice they need.... While it was nice having a full sized arena, the sacrifice of the team being split up was definetly not a good thing...
