To expand on this post, I offer you all this:
http://www.itsmarta.com/howto/special/frc.htm

There is a special event pricing that the MARTA (local subway) system is offering for those who are attending the FRC Championship event in Atlanta.

What you were supposed to do, is fill out a form and pre-order the tickets by a deadline about a week ago. BUT our advisor called a customer service rep. from MARTA and they said that they will honor these prices if you just order them the day you fly in at the MARTA ticket counter at the airport.

Print a copy of that webpage for reference when asking for the tickets there though, just in case they have any problems.

It's a coach bus. But wassup with the not sitting next to a girl part all about? If the girls on my team did that to one of the guys we would get a camera and take a picture of them.

Thats the only way most of us could sleep for longer then 20min. I know this becuase we went to FL from MA 26.5hrs and I learned a lot how to stay comfortable

Last warning dont sit next to a female... They tend to get makeup happy when your sleeping because they get "bored". She got me on the way home and i did not wake up till she was almost all done... hehe

Re: Mode of Transportation

A major change for our travel plans instead of flying out of BWI to ATL, we are flying out of National to ATL via Delta. Hey, ya go where the fares are cheapest and we found one.

And by looking at this poll no one has elected to go by train or any other mode of transportation?

Re: Mode of Transportation

108's going by bus. Earlier this year, our team made a trip to Alabama for the BEST robotics regional, that was 14 hours and our odd bus driver thought going THROUGH atlanta would get us there faster. So during that trip, we hit atlanta around hour 12, so that's what we're figuring on for this trip.

Bus Law says: Do not fall asleep. [consequences: ziptied to the chair / shaving creamed head / makeup / pictures of you in compromising posistions]. I'm telling you, I've seen em all. If you wanna sleep, find a friend you trust and take shifts sleeping, the only way.

Hotlanta here we come!

We're going by bus. It should take 8 hours or so.

Re: Mode of Transportation

After trying every airline avaliable and even trying to charter our own jet, we settled for the 13 hour bus trip, getting into Atlanta around 11PM on Wednesday.

The Offical plans of team 836.
4-14-04 11:05 am depart from Regan National Airport on Delta
4-14-04 12:48 Arrive in Atlanta
4-18-04 6:00 am depart from Atlanta on Delta
4-18-04 7:30 Arrive at National
The bad thing is that flight out of Atlanta coming home, this means a 3:00 wake up call!!!
