Re: Travel logistics
I guess the school buses in my area are the only ones that shake like they are about to explode, then.

Re: Travel logistics
Our buses shake a bit, but certainly not that badly. We took a bus to Boyceville; I assume we would be taking either a bus or vans to Madison if we go.paleonaps wrote:I guess the school buses in my area are the only ones that shake like they are about to explode, then.

Re: Travel logistics
We're first in line to go if a team from a different state backs out. We're holding out hope.

Re: Travel logistics
No, they aren't. We made the mistake of putting building stuff in the back because it would be easier to load, and it really shook stuff up. I don't think schoolbuses have any shocks whatsoever, they shake so much.paleonaps wrote:I guess the school buses in my area are the only ones that shake like they are about to explode, then.

Re: Travel logistics
I had to ride one for two hours once.
I think I got a concussion.

Re: Travel logistics
...How bad can your buses possibly be? The trip to Boyceville was 5 hours and I lived.paleonaps wrote:I had to ride one for two hours once.

EDIT: It was actually about 2-3 hours. Typos are bad when it comes to numbers...

Re: Travel logistics
You guys have to ride school buses? Our team ALWAYS gets a chater bus, whether it be 2 hours away or 10 hours away(I hope we take a charter bus if it's that far). Then some parents drive in vans to bring the building event things.

Re: Travel logistics
When we went to Boyceville, we took a normal school bus. When we go to Madison, we're taking coach. I think it's because the school pays some of the expenses for a trip to nationals, but not a trip to an invitational.
It's really all based on funding really.
