That idea took off like wildfire. The lunchtime thing would be good for the crowd, but we would be cutting into the break all of the volunteers get. Also, I'm not sure if other teams would feel like those teams were getting extra practice time, or special treatment. I was thinking of something more low key like showing up in the Q at the same time on Thuursday. We could always ask them to set up some practice matches on the schedule, but that is usually made early. Is this a GA/SC battle, or do the WV, NC, FL.... teams also set up alliances? Also, what about the other great teams attending the regional? That's why I keep coming back to a practice day matchup. It would be great to put together ideal matchups, and play it out however. We went to IRI in 2003, and replayed the championship finals with a different outcome.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is there are a lot of great teams and robots coming to this regional. It would be "epic" to see certain alliances go against each other, and I hope it works out, but I'm not sure we can set something up. I'm still a fan of the idea, and hope we can make it happen.
