I'm talking about the two matches we lost because we didn't address design issues earlier in the season (jamming shooter, losing yellow ball out the top of the robot). That match we had with you guys was sublime.

We have a homemade one. It is beastly.

Also do teams ship their robot? Check-on luggage? Carry-on(ha!)
We live in NJ, but we're driving ours down in a trailer, just because:
-we usually like to be over-prepared with the parts
-we don't want to risk our robot being held back or dismantled by security
-we figured out it may even be a whole lot cheaper than flying it
The main thing is it's less of a risk to drive it (if the car doesn't spaz out) if we're willing to make the sacrifice. Which we are. We don't want any harm to come to our baby.

Anyway, I feel like I remember hearing about some kind of information about dealing with airlines. Maybe you get it with registration or something.
