Starting our own off-season event?
Our team just had the (possibly) crazy idea of starting our own off-season event. It's not confirmed, just an idea.

We have a bunch of questions:
I heard you can borrow a field from NASA? How would this be arranged?

Organizing and planning the event is gonna take a LOT of work. Any suggestions on getting enough people to help assemble the field and run the game? We have a relatively small team.

Instead of a full-blown FMS, there's a simplified version called "FMS Lite". Is there a 2010 version? Are there any hardware requirements (wireless router, computer, something)? And how would the "DOGMA" ball return timer work with this setup without the sensors near the goals and ball return?

Any other tips/hints/suggestions?
