Week 0 Event for 2013

[Johnny_5]

We are one of many central Ohio teams and have been looking to creating a practice field for our use, but due to our shop limitations we really don't have room for it, and even if we just had a half field our ceiling is too low.

We all thought it was pretty cool how some teams hosted a Week 0 event so before they shipped they had a chance to get their robot out on the field.

I understand there are many different levels at which you can host an event, by just using FMS light and a few Ethernet switches or by using the full FMS. I am looking to all of you to figure out how other teams do it. I know FIRST stations fields all throughout the US before regional events even start so they are in an area around all of their events.

I know the other issue with having a FIRST Field is that you have to have an FTA out at the event, but I am sure someone in central Ohio is an FTA.
