We had a late night tonight. I helped build from 9 am to 2:30 am. It was worth it though. The late nights tend to get silly and un-focused though. After having two aluminum hooks finished we became pirates complete with the aluminum hook hand, the pvc peg leg, and the the safety glass/electrical tape eyewear, and scrap aluminum swords. Just a tip, pvc makes a horrible peg leg. If I had the picture I'd put it. But I'm going to bed now. Only six and a half hours until our next meeting. I love build season.

Wow, that beats my 8 AM to 12:30 AM. I'm sure some 2:30 nights will come though!

titanium load-bearing transfer flanges
I dont know if this is a joke or not, but titanium is not allowed. It is listed clearly on the exotic parts list.

I can't seem to find an exotic parts list in this year's rules. Perhaps you are thinking about last year's rules? ;)
There is no exotic parts list...As long as the material is available to all team at that price it is legal...So if their is a source for titanium load-bearing transfer flanges is available to every team at that price it is legal. Follow the flow-sheet.

LOL, you guys are so funny. Today we're working 10a-10p. Looking forward to seeing your robot and all of you.
Thanks....thats me sleeping on the table. I guess the late night are cool if you have a plan. Otherwise, you will just sit around and do a lot of nothing.

build from 9 am to 2:30 am.
i wish my team could have work hours like that then we could eliminate some of the stress about the time we have. we can't have hours like that because our advisor has other comitments and lives about an hour away.

Is that actually a computer lab your building your robot in? And I thought it was bad when we build our robot in a hallway and cafeteria. Oh well, I bet I'm not on the only team hoping for our own room or space to call all our own.

we build our robot in our advisors class room. every week night after we finish up we have to pack things up and bring them back down to "the closet" which we share with the foreign language department. weekends are not so bad because we can at least leave the stuff out till sunday night.

Except out "closet" is three small "rooms" that are just for us. The place where the picture was taken was the multimedia classroom that is used only M-F 8AM-1:30 PM

Some members of our team have seen some very late nights. I was not present for this, but about 6 members went to one members garage with the robot and stuff. This was late last friday night after a long meeting with the whole team up at the school. Those members were working in the guy's garage until about 6 a.m. and the next meeting started at 9 a.m. which they were all present for. So those team members might have gotten 2 hours of sleep between two days meetings.
Our team gets to use the drama room at our high school. However, we do have a shop in a side room inside the drama room where we can keep all of our stuff.

We were at school from 1PM until 7PM yesterday. Then we went to "Chris' Full Service Garage" where we worked until 2AM and got the robot nearly complete.

9 am to 2:30 am now that is the real definiton of late night. We considered a late one 9 am to 9 pm, and there is only one late night to go.
Always,
