Not-so-long-story-short, if you don't want us driving through the snow to finish our robot, then don't make us.

There are (a few) more important things than your robot. One of them is your life. It's unfortunate that you haven't been able to finish your robot, but please don't let that fog your vision, as difficult as that may be.
