If not you may have to do what other teams do and carpool. Find the parents with the biggest cars / vans / trucks and load up your robot and pit necessities in those then fill the rest of the cars with students / adults. Generally an increase in students means an increase in parents and transportation provides an excellent opportunity to involve them with the team!

True, just be sure to check with your principal and/or school district to learn about their transportation policies. A lot of school districts do not allow parents to drive students (other than their own) on field trips.

Sharing transportation with other teams is also a great cost-effective way to get around, and having your own trailer is the best!
