Got a call from Fed Ex this morning. Our crate will be delivered on Monday. We brought the robot home with us.....we had a demo yesterday.

...and this is why it's important to keep at least one robot from previous years in healthy, working order boys and girls. :rolleyes:
that and driver practice
both moot points if you have a practice bot

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.

Actually, it wasn't entirely free for us. :(
I'm not complaining, I'm just poking fun. :P

Since we have our event annually, they already saw last year's bot.

Keeping our fingers crossed.

Does your crate ship via air? If so, that must cost $$$$!

Our robot was delivered this morning. I imagine every other team's robot will be showing up shortly.

Thank you FedEx!!!

Using an AIRBILL to get our robot from Portland (Week 1) to Hawaii (Week 5), our tracking number was useless for 2 weeks and our robot was MIA for that time before it was finally discovered to be on a boat instead (showed up the Monday before our Week 5 regional). Not sure where the decision to disregard the airbill was made. We're not holding our breath for our bot to show up anytime soon from Atlanta even though there's an airbill on our crate once again.

2415's located in North Atlanta, and we haven't gotten our robot back yet either. We were going to steal our robot and just dump random stuff in our crate, but that didn't exactly work out...

Good luck for all your presentations! We had one on Tuesday, without our robot, and we made fools of ourselves. But our school was never really that receptive to Robotics in general, so whatever.

The Iowa and Wisconsin bound robots stuck together. Ours was delivered mid day Friday also.

As the attached picture shows, 525 & 93 travelled next to each other from Minnesota to Atlanta and they apparently travelled together back from Atlanta as well.

Reviving an old thread?
Has anyone got their robot back yet from Atlanta?
OR,
Has anyone not had their robot shipped yet from Atlanta?
Ours doesnt even show up on the Fedex tracking, where I am assuming it hasnt been shipped yet. Its much later than last year.
With upcoming demos and events, its going to be close.

2970 has ours, just in time to make it into the Kenosha News.

We've had our robot back since at least Thursday, in time for a demo (that was less than a week after championship... FIRST never ends!)

Ours arrived back here in California last Tuesday (April 28th) all safe and sound. Although, our new crate was a bit banged up.
