Who's going to kickoff and where?

Well, if you think about it, there is no need to require teams going to specific kick off. There will only be two representatives from each team going to kick off, and Holiday Inn have plenty of space and Dean's house is extremely large. It could get too crowded if ALL the teams are going to show up at New Hampshire, but chances are, a lot of teams are saving money by going to their local ones...

So, as for what's going to happen at local kick offs... I am sure there will be some sort of broadcast so that Woodie and Dean will be explaining rules to all teams at the same time. I know NASA have done that in Bay Area last year, so we can expect the same thing next year...

I am wondering if FIRST will have extra playing fields at the local kickoffs, because it will let students and coaches at those remote kick offs get a feel of the objects in the field. However, FIRST will need to finish all those playing fields before kick off, get them to ship to the right place, and ship them back or store in local place afterward...

Also, I am wondering if FIRST will be shipping the kits to teams going to remote kickoffs, since those teams won't have anyone going to New Hampshire to pick them up... Shipping the kits to remote make sense because local teams will be able to go to those kick offs and pick the kits up themselves.

These all depends on how much FIRST is going to pay for kick off next year....
