Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

Last year we flew to Atlanta, and got discounts on the flights from the Independence Airline. Unfortunately the airline is gone bankrupt and this year we were not able to fly; while at the same time we faced financial obligations too. So showing our spirit of GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM Team 612 will be sharing a bus with Team 614 (thank you guys). I wander if there are any other teams who are sharing a bus?

We will leave Northern Virginia around 5 pm Wednesday evening and will be at Georgia Dome around 7 am. As its 14 Hour long trip, we are planning to watch LOTR, while at the same time talk about the championship and stuff..... any suggestions.......pm me.

We will be leaving Atlanta right after the social and will travel all night to be in Northern Virginia around 8 am. And on the way back.........don't even ask...we have two Birthdays to celebrate; one before midnight and one after midnight..

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

862 will be taking a charter bus straight from Canton to Atlanta, Leaving Wednesday 6am ~13 hour trip. We did the same thing in 2004 and after 6 hours of James Bond movies the whole bus broke into a huge rubber band war! For some reason our mentors prefer to fly instead of riding the bus with us.

We were going to take a bus down but Xerox changed their mind so were flying down instead.

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

In 2005 and 2004 our team took a charter bus from Pennsylvania, in 2003 we flew to Huston, and in 2002 we took a charter bus all the way from PA to Orlando!(that was a long bus ride!) The Orlando bus ride was 18 hours long, and the one to Atlanta was like 15 -16 hours long!!!

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

This Year Team 379 is Driving down to Atlanta from Ohio. The team usually flies down but this year going to the Championship was a big surprise. We didn't know until last Thursday the 13th, that A state politician was going to fund us to go all thanks to the help from team 48. When GM was our corporate sponsor they provided a van for the GM advisors to travel in with our stuff. Since the loss of them, Team 48 has graciously carried our tools down with them in their trailer. Thanks again. This year we will be traveling by coach bus and it will take 11 hours and 35 minutes to get there. We will be stopping through the night for breakfast and rest stops. Also to factor in if there is any construction or accidents it will take probably 12-13 hours. We are departing our high school Tuesday night and will get to Atlanta sometime Wednesday morning or early afternoon. This way may be more of a long haul but considering you have to take the MARTA to travel down there or walk it's convenient to take a bus. We were unable to see some sites because the MARTA didn't travel there so this year we will get to go to places like Stone Mountain and stuff.
-Can't wait, Hope to see everyone there.

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

Last year 616 took a one hour flight out of Newport News. (Nice tailwind cut about 15 minutes off) Our local partners 1610 took an 8 hour busride.

This year 1610 is taking the bus eight hours down there leaving at (as one person put it) 0'dark thirty.

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

i couldn't imagine our team driving that far on a bus. we went to the Chesapeake regional this year and it was a horrible bus ride or 7 hours. so team 237 will be flying from Laguardia on Wednesday morning, hopefully no delays will stop us from arriving around 630pm

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

TechnoKats will be driving down to Atlanta, from Kokomo. This is about a 13 hour bus ride, given the fact that we are driving the speed limit and stopping every 2 hours (it seems) for breaks.

I think that there are multiple teams who are driving down to Georgia from Indiana and Michigan. Most likely, we will be taking the same roads. Maybe we can leave a sign or two along the way to fellow FIRSTers.

This sounds like a great plan, Maybe we can have a scavenger hunt.

I'll be printing up some small signs and putting them up in a completely non-destructive manner whenever we stop, and whoever can collect the most will get a prize!

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

Cyber Blue 234 is going to be taking the 11 hour drive to "Hot-lanta" from Indianapolis on Wednesday around 10:30. Once again, our wonderful sponsor, GM - Allison Transmission, has gratiously donated a charter bus for the team's use at Championships.


**note**
If your team is taking a charter or school bus down to Atlanta, the chances are extremely HIGH that it has an Allison Transmission in it. Well over 70% of all big trucks and busses produced are powered by an Allison Transmission, and manufactured in Indianapolis.
