And the west-coast teams got at least 3 extra hours during Build Season. With those three hours we may have been able to test the programming.
How about people who couldn't submit Dean's List get an extra three hours to submit their essays, and people who lost valuable time on their robot because of snow days get an extra three hours to work on their robots?

How would you have felt if your weather conditions closed the school on Tuesday and you could not have put your robot in the bag and FIRST told you you could not compete? It is a deadline after all...
These teams were ready to submit... it was not a matter of needing extra time to finish the submissions.... this ball was dropped by FIRST....
