John,

Basically, team 217 had no freight costs for the district events or the Michigan State Championship. We took the robot (the two other teams' robots) in our team trailer to the events. The two district events were 10 min (Troy) and 30 min (Cass Tech) from our home facility. The MSC was about 50 minutes from our home facility (Eastern Michigan University).

Many teams were in the same situation as us, but some others (like the teams in northern Michigan, including the Upper Peninsula) had much further travel.

Paul
