Re: TEAM 1923 NEEDS HELP!

Matt,

I'm going to make a few phone calls tomorrow and see if one of the teams local to us is going and has any bus space they're willing to give up. About how many people would you be planning on sending on the bus?

Also, seriously consider taking fewer kids like we talked about earlier. If you've already made the investment to send your Robot down to Atlanta you may as well send some kids to compete with it, even if you can't send the whole team.

-Dustin.

(Also, you should really look into cost cutting measures while you're down there like staying in a cheaper non-FIRST hotel etc... I'd imagine you should be able to shave a bit off of your $1000 total to do it....)

(Btw, poor planning ftl - I'll be paying about $1200 to go to the Championship when it's all said and done and I booked stuff a month and a half ago.)
