Is there a way that we can work out a "robot-pool" or something? Our team is not having any drivers (all flying), and are excited for our first ever trip to Championships. However, saddened by the idea that many of the teams would not get to go to the State Championships to compete, since we won't have our robot back. This seems ridiculous, and paying private freight does not seem viable. Is any Arizona teams (1011, 1726, 842, 2486, 4183, 4841, 4146, 60, 5465, 5059, 3785, 3944...) having any drivers and might have extra space? Or could we rent a uhaul and have someone drive it back, or a uhaul trailer attached to an already traveling vehicle?
Have you confirmed the return time? I know they say it may take 6-8 weeks but I believe that might be more for international shipments. I can't see it taking more than 2 weeks, as I don't know who'll want to hold on to that many crates for longer than that.
