Shipping the Final Regionals' Robots
The long awaited announcement of the dates for the Nationals came as a shock to me. We always participate in the NJ Regional, this year on April 3-5, and that gives us only 4 days to ship the robot from NJ to Texas for the Nationals. Likewise there are several other regionals on the same date. I guess the Houston regional folks just leave the crates there!

Last year, after the Nationals, it took almost three weeks to get our machine back from Florida. I remember that it came the day before we needed to leave for the PARC and everybody was anxious about it! Fedex told us that they fit the machines in on flights as the space allowed.

I was wondering if anyone has heard anything substantiated about how FIRST is dealing with this logistical problem?

I am sure they have an answer to this.
