1676's flight leaves La Guardia @ 10:04 on Wednesday. Estimate landing 12:30-ish, but you never know with air travel.

Why - 100 and 1458 were the last two teams in the WORLD to qualify for the championship event... We had to take what we could get...

You guys going out of SJC or SFO?

I remember when we took that flight in 2002...SJC-ATL-Orlando. It was brutal. Long night on a hot, stuffy, cramped plane, with two robotics teams onboard making all kinds of noise the whole time.

Good luck ;)

SBP-PHX-ATL :) Arrives at 9:00pm Tuesday night.

Allows for a stress free trip, and a calm Wednesday before going to the Dome for Volunteer stuff.

Any teams going to the Wednesday night load in, feel free to say hi when you see me :)

No you're not. 675 didn't find out we were going until after you guys won at Davis.

Technically, 1359 was the last to qualify - but they're not going (Which sucks :( )

You get what I mean...

SFO!?

Man, you guys should have tried to get on Delta 692. 675 is on Delta 692. We could have all had a merry time on an airplane.

177 will land in the ATL airport at roughly 11:59pm on Wednesday, and pray that MARTA has not yet closed. We can only hope...

MARTA runs till 1:00 AM doesn't it?

Although it could definitely take you longer than an hour at baggage claim :rolleyes:

Man, what the hell?

Teams that are closer to Atlanta getting there at midnight? You're going to get, like, 3 hours to sleep, I hope you realize that.

We specifically wanted/needed to book our flights in order to not miss Wednesday of school. Since we booked kind of late (2 weeks prior), we missed out on better flights, and went with what the cheapest option was, but not necessarily the best. While our mentors are paying more than us to leave at the same time but beat us by 2-3 hours, the kids wanted to keep the cost as low as possible, so we have some awkward flights.

Re: What time does your flight land in Atlanta? And what day?

Ok, I have my cab all planned, I took the money out of the bank to pay for him and anything along the way (MARTA), I got a bunch of HW done, I talked to my advisor, and I started packing.

I just have to do CAD, present my speech (on FIRST, of course), do more HW, go to Statics, pack some more, sleep, go to class all day Wednesday, finnish up last minute stuff, and then get up a 4:30am. If you see me as a zombie on Thursday, you'll know why. :D

Re: What time does your flight land in Atlanta? And what day?

Tim and I leave Indy at 6:25pm Wednesday and arrive in ATL at 7:59 (knowing Delta you can add an hour to that)

The rest of the team leaves Wednesday morning at 9:00am and has the team building bus ride. They should get in by about the same time.

I told them we had to leave Wednesday but there was no getting them to go otherwise :( So we won't be seeing anyone in the airport... but you will see about 6 of the 102 members running to our pit when we get there haha. You'll know we are there by the 102 member (being me) freaking out (for I have never been on a plane before :/) Ahhhhh the things I do for FIRST haha

:ahh: Is someone at least opening your crate for you so you are all ready when you get there? We had that happen once one year and it wasn't fun rushing to get the thing out of the crate and inspected that morning we whowed up in Jersey at 10am. (2004) I'm sure I can round up a few people who could find some tools and do that for you. I see that your team is in the Newton division.

Let me know.

PM me before 4-5am on Wednesday morning.
