Yes that would be amazing if the Halton teams can host an off season.
I emailed andy mark almost a week ago but I'm still waiting for a reply.
With this delaying me. I'm also delaying checking dates for booking of location.....

Still havent received an email from andymark about the field rental...

How long does it usually take?

I remember going to Canada's Wonderland with 854 back in the day. It was a blast! I am sure that 2013 Cybergnomes would be down for some offseason action.

Who did you email? Liz Smith is in charge of the field rentals now and she hasn't responded to me either and my event is already on their schedule for May 17th.

Canadian Teams are more than welcome at any of our Off-Season Events here in Michigan. It would be great to compete with any of you.

It will be a pleasure to see you guys again. Great to know that you guys are willing to come. Hopefully this will go smoothly making it easy to have a location booked for us.

Yes I emailed Liz Smith 1 week ago. I really need to know dates to I can confirm with the locations that are asking for dates.

With travelling across the boarder it will be hard with the things that we bring since we wont have the same paperwork like FIRST gave us for regional. But if we are able to come down there and it is easy for us, I will ask our headmentor.

I emailed her yesterday, hopefully that isn't a sign of how long the queue is.

I realized that. Liz actually just responded to us concerning our event.

FYI Andymark does plan to rent and include the truss components with the field rentals at an additional cost.

Should obtaining a field become troublesome, might it be worth while looking into building one based on official FRC spec? Possibly pool together the Halton teams or maybe others interested? Just a thought.

That can work, but then again, its gonna take a lot of work and money also. But if we do that, we can host more off seasons so that could be a good idea.
Anyways if you want I'll be at men as career coaches next week if you want to talk to me in person (if you're going)
