Remember when 540s used to be super easy in Tony Hawk Pro Skater, or am I dating myself here?

As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

[Wayne Doenges]

An optimist says the crate is half full. A pessimist says the crate is half empty. The Student says the crate is twice the size it needs to be.

[MARS_James]

Man look at that beautiful piece of engineering, everything looks sturdy, it is so cleanly done, almost like it was done by a professional. That is one nice crate.



Oh and the robot is ok I guess

[dodar]

As we see Punxsutawney Practice Bot come out of his crate, and he does not see his shadow. 6 MORE WEEKS OF BUILD SEASON!

[Taylor]

345 lb crate to ship a 65 lb robot.
Unfortunately, they stripped down the robot as much as possible and they're still over the 400 lb FedEx limit.

[orangemoore]

We can build a good robot but we can't build a good crate? I guess that was because of our priority list.

[efoote868]

If the light on the robot was any smaller they could use their other crate.

[GaryVoshol]

I think I need a bigger smaller box.

[DonRotolo]

OK, who let the cat out of the box?

[EricH]

"Uh, guys? Next time we order us up a Dozer (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/39888), how about we NOT go with the cheapest supplier?"

[cgmv123]

Due to wireless coverage concerns, the GDC is calling an audible; this is the arena for the 2015 FRC game. All robots can't be smaller than 20x25x12. Have fun.

[x86_4819]

So thats how we make sure the mentors get there!

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Here we have captured an historic moment, Team 540's first wild robot captured in a trap of their design. Will they be able to cage the beast? Stay tuned...

[DonRotolo]

OK, who let the cat out of the box?
New entry: (it's still Sunday!)

Canada's favorite holiday, Boxing Day: The day after President's Day.

:rolleyes:

[Jim Wilks]

Clearly this team needs to do much more "Thinking outside of the box".
