Lightweights, except for Phil if he gets a team going
We went more than 5,000 just getting to Nationals. Add 800 round trip to San Jose and 4,400 to IRI. I'm not going to add the Chatsworth scrimmage, LA regional or the Summer Classic just because they are down in the noise (about 100 miles total). If they have another Fall cometition up in San Jose we're planning on going to that (another 800 miles).
Last summer we were invited by Team 22, HOMER, to help them put on a demo for FIRST at the Paris Airshow, along with Team 362 the Muses.
Then there are the Hawiian teams that have to go 3,000 miles each way to get to the West Coast regionals and then an additional 3000 each way to go to Nationals.
Oh and we don't get lost either, we get maps beforehand and know how to use them.
By West Coast standards we are by no means an exceptionally well travelled team. I'm amazed at people who think driving two hours is a long way. Here it's two hours to get across town, or two hours to the next town and sometimes both.
We need to all remember we are no better than our fellow man, no matter what job we all hold, what socio-economic status that's involved, or anything. Plain and simple, we're all fellow travelers on this pale blue dot called Earth. - trobots.com [more]
