Makes sense, there are fewer teams than last year and the robots are bigger.

Why? What is the space that used to be given to the pits used for?

Pits were resized to 9x10 after load-in completed tonight.

Cool. Good thing we didn't load in tonight.

WHAT? we were going to ask 422 to borrow some real estate to fit out new truss system, but now we don't have to! ;-)

we had it all figured out. you could put the couch under the truss. We were going to give up space in the middle to make it work. Maybe we can share the couch now?

I mean, the cheese head makes a pretty great pillow. (well most of the teams cheese heads do, the mods to my cheese head make it a pretty horrible pillow)

In all seriousness, are we next to each other? We've never been next to each other.

[wilsonmw04]

RIGHT next to each other. Like, elbow to elbow.

As you load in and set up your pits tomorrow, please work with each other to adjust, some teams loaded into a pit that has shifted a few feet over.

Correction: They were resized to 9x10, which is the size communicated to teams prior to the event.
Source: I pulled up all the tape.

Thanks for the offer - it was much smoother than anticipated. 2 person load in complete in an hour.

And beautiful weather ...

Can you explain how that worked? were the aisles made longer? was the placement of pits changed?
