Re: Were to store practice bot at regional?

At the risk of re-igniting a fire that was dying out, I have an observation. At GTR East, one team's robot was stuck in transit and didn't make it to the event. Another team graciously donated an entire kit-bot chassis. They and other teams donated enough parts to make a pretty good robot for the team with a missing bot.

Where did the generous team get that kit-bot chassis? was it brought into the venue in un-assembled form? Did they run back to the shop or trailer and pick it up? was it counted as part (most) of their 45 pound allowance? What about all the other items that were donated?

Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone should be penalized for helping out, and I don't think any of whatever happened should be against the rules. I am just putting it out there as food for thought.

Flame on.
