Yeah. He's FTC.

Never hurts to check the program indicator in the profile.

I think my team's two CMP teams are back with robots by now. Then again, Lego and Vex robots are a lot easier to transport than an FRC robot.

You got that right, just take the arm off and tuck it into a plastic box. I was happy to see in Portland that my old FRC team is still using the crate I built four years ago. Immortality through transportation modules!

Cory told me last night that their robot was already in Florida; they had intended to send it there. :)

Naw, Cheesy Poofs probably just want a quick pink powder coat :) Man, they are taking this "PinkPoofs" joke a long way.

Ms. P,
Cory's robot actually went to the wrong place. Its supposed to be headed to Waialua High School in Hawaii for R&D inspection..........:P :P

in that case, i think i was supposed to accompany it - no robot should fly alone

Just adding to the information:

Team 171 (Platteville, Wisconsin) robot crate just was delivered by FedEx about hour and half ago. Really surprised to see it show up today after reading other posts in this thread earlier in the day.

Team 2468, Austin, Texas received our crate on Thursday afternoon at 2:00, April 24th.

Ours got lost in transit to Atlanta so we were excited to get it back. We are taking it to the School Board meeting next Wednesday night.

Our robot isn't even in Fedex's tracking system yet either. We must be 340th in line to ship out.:confused:

Sounds like the FedEx Shipping Order Randomizer puts both the Alliance Pairing and Ball Randomizer algorithms to shame.

Sorry, I'm just in a snarky mood and couldn't help myself. No word on ours, and we've got demos Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next week. Good thing last year's 'bot is running smoothly.

Re: Have robots been shipped from Atlanta yet?

It's a little hard to complain about timeliness, given the shipping is free. :o

According to the FedEx Freight cost estimator, it would cost about $2K to have our 600 lb robot crate shipped from Atlanta to LA.

Fortunately, we don't have any demos planned until May 8-9.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 17:04.
