North Carolina Kickoff Events Cancelled
 

This email came from Marie Hopper earlier:

More details will be coming about when and where teams can pickup their KOP. I'll post details here once I know them via Marie's emails.

How is 900 going to be meeting? We're splitting up into house groups because we can, but I can't imagine that you guys will be able to get the other half of your team together at the build space. Also is the school letting buses leave for extracurriculars?

And to answer your question in a previous thread,

"Durham - We are waiting for word on the likelihood of the school closing on Saturday.
Back-up plan: The KOP will be available for pick up at Durham Academy on Monday and Tuesday."


"NCSU - We are waiting for word on the likelihood of campus closing on Saturday.
Back-up plan: The KOP will be available for pickup either at NCSU or another location on Sunday."

We will be gathering in our secret underground strategy lair (webex and GoToMeeting) and settling in with pizza and caffeine prior to the snowmageddon.

They can build a robot in 6 hours, so they don't need to start meeting for months... ;)

Alt answer - Marshall's house actually has a secret underground lair. They've slowly been building tunnels out under the whole region so they can carry out their plots.

Re: North Carolina Kickoff Events Cancelled
 

You guys are both wrong. We've already built our 2017 robot:

This conveniently fits in the unbag time for our first district event!

Re: North Carolina Kickoff Events Cancelled
 

Unfortunately you'll have to completely disassemble, remake any custom parts, and reassemble because you started building before kickoff.

Standard disclaimer about this years' rules not being the same.

I knew you guys had the best cave sponsor

Oh Raleigh, you and your snowmageddon.....

Yetis have to deal with snow all the time right? Therefore I think we will meet Saturday afternoon at the Zone once the snow stops falling but we will watch the broadcast from our homes. We will also open up Sunday for nearby teams to come get their kits and see the mock field.

Be safe out there!

Re: North Carolina Kickoff Events Cancelled
 

Indeed be careful out there. Yetis can look like Wampas to some people.

My FRC team's mascot is a yeti (and the FTC team is a snowbot). But, we live in Michigan, and there's over 2 ft of snow cover here, and about 100 inches have fallen so far this season.

And we're hosting a kickoff during a Lake Effect Snow Advisory.

Re: North Carolina Kickoff Events Cancelled
 

Yes, well, Michigan has a fleet of snowplows. NC has like 2 for the whole state. We don't do snow here. Seriously, no one here should really be driving during this stuff. We just aren't prepared for it.

Re: North Carolina Kickoff Events Cancelled
 

I love the snow. But does it really need to come this weekend?:(

Re: North Carolina Kickoff Events Cancelled
 

:( Has this happened before, where a ton of kickoff events have to be cancelled because of the weather?
