Re: Remote Kickoff Weather Problems
 

I'd try calling whoever is in charge of your kickoff and explaining the situation to them. Chances are they'd understand and would probably be able to help find a way to get your kit of parts to you (even if it is a few days later).

If that doesn't work, you could try talking to a team that you know will be in attendance. Maybe they'd be able to pick up your kit for you and deliver it if you authorized them to?

(I'm in high school...and I don't quite know how it works. I'm just trying to help, but don't take my word as the truth...)

Joshua,

You should have your main team contact get in touch with your Kickoff Coordinator ASAP. If you cannot pick it up tomorrow make sure they know that. If you are going to have another team pick it up for you then it MUST be cleared with FIRST. The deadline for doing so was a while back but FIRST was allowing teams to send in letters releasing their kit to another team today. If FIRST has not receive this letter your kit won't be released to another team and most likely will go back up to NH. Good luck.

I know this is a little off topic but I didn't want to start a whole other thread. The remote kickoffs in other time zones, say in Arizona, are at the respective times of the broadcast right? So the kickoff in Arizona starts at 8am?

Re: Remote Kickoff Weather Problems
 

You should check with those organizing your local Kickoff, but presumably they'll be starting at 8 AM in Arizona. In Seattle, they're running a tape delay of three hours, so we'll start things here at 10 AM PDT (or PST...whichever it is).

Re: Remote Kickoff Weather Problems
 

The AZ kickoff event, held at the home of team 991, will start at 7:00 am and the simulcast will start at 8:00, weather permitting (oh wait, we don't have any weather).

Re: Remote Kickoff Weather Problems
 

Oh when it snows 3 to 4 inches, try driving up Queen Anne hill or any of the other hills that are so abundant around here in the Puget Sound. Especially when they aren't plowed (do they even plow those steep streets?).

*edit* I just looked out the window and it's snowing here in Bellevue. Hmmmm maybe the snow WILL be a problem...

Re: Remote Kickoff Weather Problems
 

I'm from MI and we've already gotten, I dunno, a foot, foot and a half on the ground, and it's not going to be a problem (you guys need 4-wheel drive. It's sweet.) Just the thought of freaking at 1-2"... :ahh:

Re: Remote Kickoff Weather Problems
 

I am at NJIT in Newark, NJ right now, watching the kickoff. Weather outside sucks; raining and super cold; but we made it through!

Re: Remote Kickoff Weather Problems
 

And amazingly, even with the tiny bit of snow that we got, the kickoff was cancelled, oh well guess we'll have to download the kickoff and watch it ourselves.
