Hosting a battle robotics event. Not many spectators, blocking off tool access. Probably will line up. Still discussing specifics. Possible to put arena in Car bay and have one shop table or both for repairing bots. Second option would be putting the arena in the frontroom. Then repairs in the classroom?
 
 
 
Timeframe: initially 7-8 hours? Brian's thoughts is using anti up system. poker style ante of bots fighting each other. whoever has most chips at timelimit wins. Unsure of number of competitors 16 bots, most people bring at least 1 bot for each category. 10-12 hour day for setup/teardown. Going to do a test run, see how it works put. Brian going to run event by board.
