Team Transportation to Non-Events
In a couple of other threads, namely the practice bot one*, I've seen teams mentioning travelling (sometimes great distances) to scrimmage with other teams. My question is a matter of practicality, how does your team arrange transportation for the team (and robot/tools) for unofficial activities like this? Do you get bussing? Do mentors provide transportation for students? Do parents drive? Do students drive other students? How is liability covered (especially in the case of mentors or students driving)?
1712 has tended to avoided having mentors driving students both from a YPP and liability perspective. We get school bussing for competitions (including off-seasons) or activities during the school day (field trips), but that doesn't really work for scrimmaging with other teams or lower key outreach event.
*The spiral of threads evolving from the six week build season one is pretty awesome
