Limiting teams to Nationals

Now. . .something just occurred to me. . . what about satellite events around Epcot? It'll be effectively the same as splitting the competition up between the parks, but it'll make moving teams around a bit less cumbersome, I think..... at least, in some respects.

There's our main site, of course. The Millenium Pavilion is sitting dormant on the west (I think) side of World Showcase. I refused to go in during the Millenium Celebration in protest of its ugly cheesiness, but it's pretty big. The Oddysey Restaurant is empty, but it's go low ceilings, but it could be great for auxiliary uses.
We could also set up a bit in The Yacht and Beach Club parking lot. They're quite close to Epcot.

Park admission is the biggest hurdle to that plan, but maybe FIRST could get to Disney to allow FIRST into Epcot during the competition hours (no use trying to get 'em out ), and regular admission media would be required for everything else.

Robots and things could be shuttled around backstage, as there's a road that wraps all the way around World Showcase.

Well, that could be a good idea except the millenium village isn't there anymore because it's right next to the Yacht and Beach club and that is where they are putting the new yacht and beach club villas, part of the disney vacation club. the oddysey restaurant, while it is empty, it is used for many cast member only things and private events. and there couldn't be a pit it the yacht and beach club parking lot either because it's two lots for two seperate hotels and neither lot is big enough, espically with the new construction.
