Wednesday
5-9:30PM – 5 representatives from each FRC team will be allowed into the pits to:[list][*]Uncrate their robot – robot inspectors will be on hand to check your lock-up form if your last regional was a bag & tag event[*]Work on their robot – the NASA machine shops will be open[*]Get their robot inspected[*]Get their encryption key[/LIST

I don't see anything on here about whether we are allowed to use the practice field on Wednesday or not...does anybody have any thoughts about whether we are allowed to? I know 316 would like to try and get some time on the practice field as soon as possible on Wednesday...

New Update.

They listened to us a little bit. Now teams will change fields at the end of the day on Thursday and then again on Friday. No switching during the middle of the day. This is a good change, however if you happen to be in Newton or Curie you will play 2 out of 3 days in the Pits.

Still hiding the big plans for Friday and Saturday night....

Wouldn't around the same number of matches be played Friday as Thursday and Saturday combined? That would balance out the pit vs. dome time pretty well, no?

Seems logistically better than before. Still hoping there is enough seating in the pit field areas to accomodate teams.

The main difference would be where the division eliminations take place. Archi and Galileo finals would be in the dome...big stage for big event, perhaps more special than bleacher seating in the pits?
