By contrast, these are non-selective (but still excellent) public schools in Queens, New York City. Both have FRC teams - one rookie; one established.
Francis Lewis - 4000
Cardozo - 4000

While Stuyvesant is a large school, it isn't conducive to a FRC event because you need to take an escalator or elevator to get everywhere. There aren't even rooms to have the pits and field on the same floor. By contrast, Francis Lewis is a flat school. They've been running a FTC qualifier which has gone well.

Likewise with Brooklyn Tech. The Cafeteria could easily house the pits but thats on the 7th floor while the gym is on the first floor with a single ramp avaliable to get from the gym to the [actual] first floor . Definitely not accessible by any means (especially if trying to maintain a 7 minute match turnaround).
