Earlier I posted in here, and got kind of a negative response. My first post was a bit rude, so I feel like I should explain why I was a little upset. A mentor on our team was going to submit, but when he couldn't get on to TIMS, he gave up. Later than night (while I was sleeping), he gave me a phone call saying TIMS was back up. But, the mentor didn't have a copy of the submission at his house. So, I got in the car, and started driving to the office that holds the key for our build space. I was told we couldn't get into the space late at night, but I headed down there anyway, where I found that the janitor happened to be doing a late night cleaning of the nearby offices, who could let us in.

I wasn't really happy to miss most of my sleep that night and instead spend about two hours driving around to grab the submission to submit it. I feel like FIRST has this thing where they expect all teams to be always checking the website, which isn't always super reasonable. Most of us do other things besides first.
