Yea Neo, thats basically along the lines of what we were planning on doing. As of now, we're assuming the field will be at our place (Bridgewater, Somerset County) but if anyone has a better location for local teams let me know.

As for managing the field setup and orginization if it were at our place we would most likely (i have to check with the mentors) just buy the required tiles at the best option possible and get checks from teams who are participating when they come. The only thing we would need more of right now would be carpeting. As for the Orbit balls go, each team would hopefully be able to construct an adequate number of balls and bring them as well as a trailer but that would be setup on a per team basis, maybe some teams just cant do it in which case the slack could be picked up.

Whatever teams decide to participate would be allowed to come and practice whenever if it is at our place. We would just want a heads up a day in advance or so because the field would be literally right next to our build shop. We're at the shop Monday/Tuesday/Thursday from 3:30pm - 7:00pm and can stay later if needed and on Wednesdays/Fridays we're there from 3:30 - 9:00pm. Saturdays are 9:00am - 1:00pm or so. Fridays and Saturdays would be the best days to have Multi-Team practices and scrims involving 3 or more robots because the field can be fully setup without interfering with our sponsors workers at all. Lastly, we would send out an email to each team contact with a waiver attached for our sponsors facilities that each person would have to sign before coming over. We're pretty flexible and I think it would work out great....

Hopefully that answers anyones questions about the scenario if it were to happen at our place.
