I hope you can come, though it seems like a bit of a drive for you. Two 1319's would be amazing, however!

I don't see why one team can't enter two robots, as long as there's a different drive team for each of them. I could see other teams getting upset, but it seems fair enough. In this case, your team would probably need to register twice, or once for each robot. (Essentially, the registration fee helps our team pay fo the cost of the field. When the team registers, it is reserving a spot on the field for it's robot.) We will have some sort of inspection, probably just checking for weight, rough sizing, and safety.

One thing so far not mentioned in this thread is the date. Our team is currently working on this, but have pretty much narrowed it down to one of two dates: June 20th or June 27th. We are leaning towards the 27th, because "Hog Day" occurs on the 19th and 20th. "Hog Day" brings in lots of people, but also makes traffic a mess around downtown Hillsborough. We should have a confirmed date within the next week. This thread and event.team587.org will be updated as soon as we reach a decision.
