River Rage and the Yard sale are across the river from each other but with traffic, I would count on about 15 minutes one way. But, an advisor could always go I guess.

Twenty teams coming as of today....

w00t!! I'll be there, I'll see if anyone else is interested in missing a match or two of River Rage to go!!!

If your interested in going find me at River Rage, I'll be hanging around my pit area (Team 237) and will more than likely have a camcorder in one hand! Find me early so we can plan!!! like around 8:00-9:00
I have room for about 4 people in my car, with trunk space as well. I have to see if anyone from my team wants to go first but, if there's room I'll be more than happy to drive. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Find me early so we can plan. I don't want to have a team advisor of yours think I'm trying to kidnap anyone! LOL

NH to IN and back - just drive
I drove out to Indiana (from NH) and back on a weekend a few years ago. Figure 1000 miles each way door to door. Leave Friday morning and get to Manchester in time to pick up free goodies. Nap a bit and drive home. You could make it for SUnday diner. I did.

Hm, I wonder why they're giving away the crimp tools and pneumatics equipment as well. Does this mean some change in the electrical or pneumatic portion of the kits? Pre-crimped wires seem inconvenient.

what was in the giveaways?
anybody know exactly what was given away today? It might be a clue at what might NOT be in the kit this spring. The loss of window track motors would be a personal loss for me....
