Snow days for us, are all day robot building sessions. If there is a snow day, we tell the kids that if they can make it to the school safely, and it is ok with there parents, that we will have a meeting. I think we actually have better attendance on snow days than during normal meetings sense all other events are cancelled. We also have more time and get more done on snow days. Two seasons ago, our school was canceled for about a week because it was too cold out for the buses to run. We built almost our entire robot that week. As for it being illegal in New York, that would really stink. Our school, I think, can and has had sports practices and everything on snow days.

As for the topic of the thread, I think there will always be a team that is done with their robot before you and after you. Basically you need to just figure out your teams strategy for building your robot and stick to it. Every team is slightly different. Don't worry about how other teams are doing, just stick to your pace. It is like running a race, if you determine what pace you want to run based on the other runners, you can not possibly run your best race. You must determine what is the best pace for you to do your best.
