That's a lot of tools!

So, as I understand it, the winning team takes home not only their
team toolbox, but also all the tools from the community shop. That
sounds pretty sweet, but what if they don't have space, or can't think
of a use, for 2 ironworkers and 10 welders?

In the spirit of sportsmanship and coopertition (to borrow a term from
FIRST), I wouldn't be surprised if the winning team takes what they
want and offers the rest to the second-place finishers. Perhaps even
further on down the leaderboard, because man, that's a lot of welders.
But how would shipping work? Moving all that gear to multiple
locations may be quite a bit more complicated than just one
destination, and I'm not sure the organizers would cover that, or that
the schedule has room for the additional logistics.

Should we all be familiarizing ourselves with the motor freight
industry just in case? Or formulating another contingency plan
(Everything to the winners, then diaspora from there)?

I like the way you think! If we win, we'll porbably do the same with
the extra tools.

While that is the impression that the winners do get the common tools, I also belive that some of the tools being shared are rentals. I would guess that the amount of welders that will be given away will be far less than 10. Probably 4 max.
