Far south as we are, we're going to do all those things that weren't really essential to having a functional robot, but will be nice to have at competition.

...

Oh, and order another drill motor transmission so that we have two that work reliably. That will be nice. ;)

we should do that. i know team 5 will need at least 5 more.

You break them that fast? We built our own transmissions, so hopefully they won't break.

We might. You should've seen us test drive the robot. This one kid crashed into a table with chairs, and a wall full speed (thank god it was in low gear).

We're going to debug some *slight* issues (i.e., we're going to make it fit within regulation size). And maybe practice with the thing.

Oh, I dunno, I was thinking of doing a little sunbathing in the fine Florida weather (and you all complained about the heat at Disney). Actually we are working non-stop to finsih our bin mechanism and work out some unexpected last minute problems. The extended time is really a blessing, although I feel bad for all the teams who can't get to their robot through all the snow.

I LOVE SNOW!!!!!:p

Well it is the day before the original shipping day and our robot does not even run yet. We have been here since Friday, working and sleeping in a wood shop. So i guess for the next two days we will be doing the exact same thing in order to finish our robot on time. We are also hoping that the parts we ordered last night come in on time on account of the snow and all. Thank you FIRST!!
