I must also say Buckeye's pits were more spread out than FLR's pits which were for some reason all squished together even though there was like 50 feet of empty space to the south towards the shop.

They did that last year at Las Vegas and this year at UTC. The only reason I can see for this is that the rookies have much easier access to some veterans who can help them with any problems they have. It would also allow them to share resources much easier. Instead of going across the pits to borrow a tool that may have been left at home or to grab a programmer, they just need to lean over into the neighboring pit and tap someone on the shoulder.

I agree, though, it does make it hard to find teams sometimes. At NJ, they stuck with just doing highest->lowest.
