Re: Anyone else waiting for Crate Pickup?
 

i would schedule early. Feb. 19 is the deadline. Teams should consider sending it earlier if they had a horrible shipment pickup today. I wouldn't chance a whole build season, only to be disqualified because of not making a deadline.
FIRST sends those same email warnings for the other awards. You could be ready to submit, but the Internet is down, or the firstawards.org site is not working properly, etc. etc.
Yes, yes, I know we need all the time we can get, but still.
I have heard of teams not finishing and not competing after signing up, but never really heard of a team shipping on the next day after deadline.

Re: Anyone else waiting for Crate Pickup?
 

well, i believe if its a situation out of the teams hands such as the truck not coming or fedex rescheduling, FIRST will not disqualify you, but will ask for a letter in writing verifying that the create was NOT reopened. So it will have to be a code of honor (or whatever the word is i cant think of for the life of me):yikes:

but im not sure, just what i think
