Team Transportation to Non-Events

[Mike Marandola]

As a non-school team, the mentors or parents drive rented or personal vehicles. For regular season events, we rent two 15 passenger vans. One for people and the second with no seats for the robot, pit, and tools. For off season events we rent one van to transport people, and the robot rides with whoever can fit it in their vehicle. For scrimmages and demos such as sponsor presentations or the Barnes and Noble event recently, the robot and students ride with parents or mentors since the whole team usually doesn't attend.

I think he might mean that mentors can't transport students to practice.
