While extending the event to another day would be nice...there's a number of logistical and other issues that would need to be resolved first...
-Almost every event has the equipment brought to it from another site. At every site I've worked, the truck is packed before we leave Saturday night(well, I guess Epcot is the exception), and then leaves Sunday morning for the next site. If the opening of the event was pushed back, setup would have to start on Monday morning(your average regional takes 2 days to set up), which would only give one day for the truck to get to the site. -FIRST also uses the time between events as a "breather," to keep from going completely insane during the 6 weeks . If things were pushed ahead, they would not get this very important day off... |
