Championship Schedule

[brettreardon123]

Does anyone know what the schedule is for the championship? We're trying to get our tickets and were wondering if we needed to be there early on Wednesday, or if we would be OK getting there later in the day (flight getting in 5:00-ish Wednesday evening). We can't seem to find a schedule anywhere and we would like to be able to book our tickets sooner rather than later to get a good price.

You can arrive later, but you might miss the 5:00-9:30 uncrating time on Wednesday night. If it's the same as last year, you could send in 5 people, uncrate, and go through inspection in that time.

With FRC Qualification Matches starting at 1:00PM on Thursday, it seems to me that the Wednesday night "FRC Pits Open to 5 Team Reps", coupled with the concurrent "FRC Machine Shop Opens" means that Wednesday night isn't just for uncrating, but includes not only robot inspections but the opportunity to work on the robot!

Can any of the CMP volunteers provide more information so that teams can plan travel arrangements accordingly?

I've just started running this question through the mill, and I've heard back through my regional director that YES, you CAN work in the pits on weds. Not official till it's official, but I would put money on it. I'm putting up a separate thread on this so it's not missed.
