Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

Well As Ed mentioned we filp-flopped this year due to some logistical problems. It would have been our first 22 hour bus trip for all three Xerox Teams from Rochester but due to some problems with the Charter company we had to resort back to flying down on Wed and Thurs on Airtran. The only problem is that we're going to really cut it close on wed night to do anything in the pits since we don't get in till 7:10pm.

We are also having a couple of kind souls drive a trailer down with all 3 teams' tools.

And due to another problem with logisitics we are now staying in the Omni Hotel instead of the Embassy Suites. So I'm sure to run into alot of you so we should chill!

See you all in a Week!

Ellery

I believe that would be my team's Hummer, but only a few of the mentors ride down in that.
Was this it?
Yeah that was the Hummer I remember seeing. Your team is so lucky to get one.

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

I think a bus, but I am not completely sure. We might drive down in our own cars.

We actually had to give that one back. It was lease-loaned to the team. We managed to get a H2 SUT to pull the trailer this year, although we toned down the decals to just "Team 67" in the rear windows and the FIRST logo and "Buckle Up" logo on the tailgate.

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

1629 will be taking a charter bus down...we've heard everywhere from 10 to 16 hours, so I guess we'll find out next week. We're leaving Tuesday night at 7, heading north to pick up the rest of the team from the other end of the county, then hitting the highway and driving through the night.

Fun.

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

I think the bus ride fore 1629 will be at least 16 hours, safe to say. This includes roughly 2-4 hours to eat, make other various stops, etc.

With 57 people, in a cramped bus, I think it should be..
nothing short of.. interesting

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

Most of us are taking a charter bus, leaving at about 7:00 A.M. The trip should take about 8 hours. A few of the team are flying. For their ~$200 extra, they will save about two hours each way given the travel time to the airport, check in time, time from the airport to the hotel, etc.
