Remarks about airport transportation, and others remarks about getting tools there, are valid concerns.

One way of reducing cost using a bus is to schedule the ride overnight, which saves on one night's hotel accomodations. Not a comfortable night's sleep though - don't plan on this if you're going to arrive Thursday morning. 1188 usually leaves Metro Detroit about 5:00 pm on Tuesday, gets to the Atlanta area for breakfast on Wednesday, spends a light day of sightseeing, and then crashes early (well, sorta early) in the hotel to prepare for Thursday. Our alternative is to leave really early Wednesday morning, say 4:00 am or so loading, in order to get to Atlanta in time for early robot uncrating Wed eve. With such an early morning, and the long drive, we'd be more tired than an overnight on the bus.
