Re: 2013 Minnesota North Star Regional

Our former lead mentor, Mike Sundblad, moved and is now leading team 4665. I wish he was a bit faster so he could be team number 4633.

Can't wait, but if any organizers are reading this, only having one entrance into the pits/arena/practice field is a horrible mess. I recorded 11000 steps on my pedometer on the event's Friday.

It is rough, but it's also pretty much the same everywhere else! At 10,000 Lakes you don't have all the stairs North Star does, but the pits are in a separate room, through a hallway split in half for robots/humans, with only one entrance. Lake Superior/Northern Lights is similar, with the pits and arena in different rooms, and a ton of stairs to get up to the stands.

With the need to safety glasses stands at the entrance to the pits, it makes it pretty tight to fit the teams in as is - we can't really leave any more room on the other side for a second entrance without interfering with the teams located on that side.

Think of it this way: All those steps makes up for all the sugary drinks and bad food every team scarfs down at events and the end of build season!
