Game hint for Colorado teams
 

:confused: Has anyone that is participating in the Colorado Regional recieved this item yet from FIRST via Fed Ex? WE have yet to get it.

Re: Game hint for Colorado teams
 

There is a thread started for people who have received the e-mail, the part, or both here:

Re: Game hint for Colorado teams
 

I saw that thread...I am specifically looking for info from the Colorado teams because we have yet to receive anything.

Re: Game hint for Colorado teams
 

Team 1158 has received both the email and board.

You say you saw it, but did you read it? Ten seconds of searching shows that at least Team 1357 from Loveland has theirs.

Team 1357 from Loveland, CO has received it. (and broke it once already :D )

Our package even said Wednesday on it. So, i figure it was supposed to come on Wed for us.

maybe they are going in numerical order.

Who cares that he started a new thread?? just let the kid ask a question, its not a big deal...

Re: Game hint for Colorado teams
 

Thank you for giving my students a chance to make a mistake. I have a new group of kids on my team this year and they are not used to how the forum works. They are also freaking out because they read that other teams have gotten the hint but we haven't yet.

Re: Game hint for Colorado teams
 

I apologize if this may sound rude, but with the traffic that Chief Delphi gets, and the amount of new comers to the forums every day, if everyone decided to make a topic (you'll get a visual come January), than it causes havoc and CD becomes a mess. On top of that the CD users and the staff are all volunteers and dedicate their time to contribute and help improve the community atmosphere. When a question has been repeatedly asked in multiple threads by the same people, it gets a bit irritating.

We don't want you t not ask questions, we just want you to search before you ask because many times your question has been asked and answered before.

EDIT:That is very understandable. May I advise you to suggest to your students to read some of the FAQs as well as some of the stickies? Those threads may help questions get answered a lot quicker!

Thanks,
Pavan

As my student wrote earlier:

He was looking for info from Colorado teams specifically. He was concerned that we may not get it before school lets out for break.

I apologize for his error.

Re: Game hint for Colorado teams
 

I realize this, all im sayin is that that guy didnt have to be rude about it. Not everyone has the time to look at every thread, espetially one with 500+ posts.

Its cool to refer someone to another thread if there is alredy one, its acually a big help, but don't try to make them feel stupid in the process.

662 received ours on Tuesday
 

We received our package this past Tuesday

Re: Game hint for Colorado teams
 

I hope ours comes today because I will not be here tomorrow and technically today is our last day of school until after the kick-off:ahh:

I think a lot of people can sympathize with this scenario, or may be in the same one.
It's just a problem due to circumstances which are not under your control un fortunately, so don't get stressed about it too much.
(You have 6 weeks of build to get stressed about all kinds of other things) :ahh:

My best advice I can give you, is to do one of the following:

A) Now that you know what teams in your state have the board due to this thread, find one of them and maybe contact them & work with them to get some info about it.

B) Read (and learn from) the discussions posted here about the people testing their board until you can get yours. (Remember; over 1500 active FRC teams were shipped boards and the ones who received them are already crunching hard data about them and reporting back to the FIRST community via these forums)

I think that's about all you can do which would lead to some productivity in this situation.

Good luck with however it unfolds, and I hope your board does come tomorrow! Here's to that! :)
