There have been discussion about using golf carts to pull robots and maybe people too....

This was mentioned by Dave Brown when he was up at the Canadian Regional, we discussed the venue at Houston

What i hear down the line from a person who works for reliant park is that the walk would only be like 300 yards.

Our head mentor broke the NO CALL FIRST policy and was told that in the most extreme case a mile walk would be required. This being you are an unlucky team getting stuck on the far end of the astrodome and having to compete in the far end of the reliant stadium. But yah know a mile ain't that long concidering they could have split up 3 small fields into the near by convention center, and the main field in the stadium. That would have bad.

The reason that teams rotated around Einstein was because FIRST did not want all the einstein teams to have to sit in the 100dgree heat all day. By rotating, all teams had to be on einstein, instead of 70 teams being out there all day.

There are five fields - the four division fields and Einstein in Reliant Park. Keep in mind that this is a football stadium and the fields will be set up on the football field (They can remove the grass for occasions like this).

They will be set up as follows: the four division fields will be at the four corners of the stadium facing the 50 yard line seats (don't know why they do not just face the corners - maybe so you can watch two or three fields at once if you are high up on the 50 yard line). Einstein is on the 50 yard line between Curie and Galileo and facing in the same direction (straight at the 50 yard line seats). Archimedes and Newton face the opposite way at the other 50 yard line.

The pits are set up on the baseball field in the Astrodome. Archimedes and Galileo are closest to the entrance/exit, while Curie and Newton are farthest. There is a practice "area" to be set up in the pits area (it looks like there will only be one - ouch). I'm not sure if there will be a ramp or just carpet.

Championship Layout

Here is the scope as I know it for Network and IT purposes.

1. There will be 5 fields (including Einstein). Only four divisions, Einstein is for Saturday Championship only.

2. The four corners are the locations of the fields and everyone will enter from the North side of the field.

3. Internet in the Pits either dial-up of Wi-Fi 802.11b register with SOAP for Access. The Wi-Fi will be limited bandwidth and locations due to sharing the bandwidth with NASA.

Thats what I can tell you so far.

See you next week.
