So you're wearing overalls?

As to the pit map - making up for the lack of stadium usage for competition by having stadium "seating" for the pits. Oh well, I'll just make my list of contacts and opti-pessi-mistily wander around looking for them.

Re: Bills Blog - You're going to want to look closely at the diagram

Looks like they could have squeezed two more FRC fields on the left side of the stadium. If they moved FRC 1 a little more to the right. They could then split the FTC fields/divisions , put one to the left of FRC 1 and leave the other next to FRC 2. Then two more FRC fields can be fit next to the FTC fields/divisions. Thus each side of the stadium would have two FRC fields sandwiching a FTC field/division.

My primary concern with the fields in the pits is how noisy it will be. I recall that despite the huge amount of teams, that the pits were surprising quite (well, relative to regionals) in Atlanta. Correct me if i am wrong, maybe I just don't consider the sounds drills, grinders and etc. to be noise.

Re: Bills Blog - You're going to want to look closely at the diagram

If FLL and FTC are playing on Einstein, why not keep THOSE fields in the pits and put 5 FRC fields out in the dome?

Everyone gets their time in the dome, the fields in the pits take up less space, and the same-sized bleachers fit more teams (considering FLL/FTC teams don't go outside of ~15, and I think the average FRC team is between 25-35).

Big robots take up a lot of space. Big teams take up a lot of space. Space is always lacking in the pits, with this year packing in more people than northern Virginia traffic.

Has defending FIRST really gotten to the point where spectators not being able to see their teams is OK? Come on, now. There's optimism, and there's blind faith. Some people have taken a lot of time and effort to be able to see their teams play.
