Might I also point out that even if parking is on the other side of the campus, WPI is not that large as to be an issue if people need to park on side streets and by the library. In two years of living here, I have found everything on campus to be a 5 minute walk away or a 2 minute bike ride. If teams need to drop off equipment, they can do what happens when Freshman move in for the first day of their college lives: drop it all on the curb with some of their teammates then find somewhere else to park. I figure that if about 1000 families who are dropping off one child each can all drive alone and still all find places to park and successfully start college, then the next WPI FIRST Regional can do it, especially because, in my experience, FIRST teams are some of the best carpool-ers in the world. No outsourcing to CT required.
