"Telecommuting" Build Meetings

So there's been a lot of snow here in Washington. I haven't been to school since Friday since I can't get out of the house. Depths range from 6" to 16" for members on my team. Having lived in Michigan for 5 years, this actually isn't that bad, but there's a lot more hills here so schools cancel with as little as 3" of snow and driving is a lot more hazardous.

This thread isn't meant to complain about our build season being cut short. Yeah, we're falling behind, but we're trying to make the most of it. Are there any build season tasks that would be valuable for a team of bored robotics kids at home with nothing to do?

So far, our members are doing some of these:
-Messing around with code and sensors
-CAD
-Strategy discussions
-Sitting around doing nothing!

Any other ideas? Getting to school where our stuff is is pretty much an impossibility (not just improbable...). Facilities are locked anyway.

Thanks!
