Thanks for the summary. I almost forgot about the whole Tornado incident and adjusted pit setup last year.

Yeah, up until 2007 these were always the rules in place.

Although there is one "rule" that FIRST never seems to mention anywhere until teams get to the event, and that's to always keep all carts, dollies, totes, etc. on the plastic they lay on the floor in the GWCC lobby.

This isn't a FIRST rule, but a venue rule from the GWCC, which they claim is to "protect their carpet". Yet if you pay attention, you'll see the venue staff drive Cushmans on the carpet all day long...

Regardless of the hypocrisy, just follow the rule. If you don't, and if volunteers don't catch it, the venue staff like to yell at the volunteers.
