The whole team. We bring a bus and often share it with another team. Championships are a great opportunity, take the whole team along for the fun!

How do the teams get from the hotel to the arena and how long does it take?
|
The bus we came with. Depends on where you stay, it could be as little as maybe 10 minutes, but the bus queue can get rather long

Is the pit realy far from the playing field? I have heard a mile and I can't believe that.
|
Its a good half mile at least if you're on the furthest field. The driveteam gets a shortcut, so maybe only a quarter mile for them, worst case. Best case is not much better.

Do most teams go out for lunch? 45 minutes is not a long time to make that happen.
|
I can't speak for others, but my team usually buys lunch and a parent/mentor/someone goes to pick it up and bring it back to the courtyard area. A lot of teams eat in the courtyard.

Can you bring food to the pits?
