Normally build season is 45 days long, not sure if its 45d - 12 hours or 45d + 12 hours

Sorry, I had it counting down so it said "Last Day" on febuary 17th. I changed it though so it will stop at 11:59:59 on febuary 17th.

It looks like it's counting down to noon, not midnight, and it's EST, not whatever time zone people are in. I'm in central time, and seeing 45d 4h 25m at 6:35am. You should try to pull the location info from the requesting IP, and do a time lookup based on that to calculate the difference to be displayed.

bag and tag is still a few days before my b-day so a day with no robotics and still awesome. The funny thing is my team coach and me have the same b-day.

We have 6 weeks, and I'm still extremely stressed.
Feels like a bomb or something.

Thanks, I accidentally set it at 11:59:59 and not 23:59:59. It is currently set for eastern time because that is where The RobotShop is based out of. I will look into changing it to the local time of the IP.
