Congrats on making it in!! We enjoyed having you as our alliance partner and we look forward to seeing you guys again in Atlanta!
As far as logistics goes, we are actually planning on leaving our robot at the FTC pits, however, we are locking it up inside a box. Also, we are planning to bring the cart you saw us push around at the Ontario FTC Tournament. Having been to Atlanta a few times before as an FLL team, we know how long the walk from the pits to the dome is! You really don't want to be carrying your robot by hand all that way.
Don't forget to hang around for the Canadian Team group picture -- All the Canadian FLL/FTC/FRC teams gather around for a picture together. Also, in previous years, we had a reception for Canadian Teams. I don't know if there is plans again for it this year.
As far as visiting the FLL and FRC teams, the schedules will be tight. You'll be fairly busy with your matches. I remember last year when we went down as an FLL team we wanted to watch some of the FTC matches, but our schedule was just too tight. I assume the FTC schedule would be just as tight.
Feel free to email to call me if you need further information (just email me through Chief Delphi and I'll respond with my contact info).
