You would have to ask Laurie, she's definitely the most knowledgeable person in the entire state when it comes to fully staffing an event. I do know, however, that one wicketkeeper is probably not enough (you want at least two sets of eyes on it to ensure there aren't mistakes), and having only 1 CSA is going to make it very rough for teams who need help. I've seen a single CSA spend an entire afternoon with just one team who was having some odd control system issues (and I was there working with them half that time too)... Without other CSA's we either would have had to abandon that team to help others or leave others waiting indefinitely.

Most of those positions need some level of experience as well. We can't just throw people into them with no on-site Training from someone experienced.

Thanks for looking at them! Once the season is over, I'll certainly want to take a second look at them.

With the amount of requests for programming support I've received from MN teams this year, I certainly don't disagree with you when it comes to more than 1 CSA...

Team 2977 - Sir Lancer Bots will be at Lake Superior (the Superior regional) once again, along with four other teams from the Seven Rivers Robotics Coalition - all Wisconsin teams.

In addition we are bringing an LRI, Game Announcer, Referee, safety glasses crew, and possibly additional volunteers. Doing everything we can to give back and to build the volunteer base in the Seven Rivers (La Crescent / La Crosse) region.
