I'd hardly consider myself inspiring XD Although I guess counting the sponsors I've gotten, overcoming depression/psychosis, making it to Atlanta myself...IDK lol XD But thanks for the well wishes!

Thank you, yes I'm an FTC team, my robot is defensive and only requires one driver. The robot I'll estimate at 10-15 pounds (I'm a bad estimator though) but as stated before, after a while that will feel like a million pounds. By the very helpful captain of team overdrive, I've been recommended to get one of these:

Sometimes there are movable steps where you can walk straight from the bleachers to the field.This is an awesome time in your life, your dad should be there with you. I wish my father had an interest in robotics and would participate with me. You're pretty lucky.
I wouldn't worry completely about your pit. I feel very comfortable leaving leaving my laptop and camera in the pit with nobody there. You will find that teams leave laptops playing videos in their pit while they are gone. We sometimes ask both teams on the sides of our pit to watch our stuff. It's a very safe place, I've never heard of anything getting stolen in Atlanta.

Lucky perhaps, a lot of people would say I've payed greatly for my luck though
I'd carry my all-useful ipod in my pocket for referencing rules and such, as for camera, father would have, and laptop one of us can just wear it around our shoulder in a case, even while driving. That's all I'm really worried about losing ><

Thanks everybody! We should keep this thread going for future references to other Atlanta newbies!
