Oooohhhh! I think you just hit upon a great solution for us! As soon as the season is over this year, our team is going to embark on an extra-special, super diligent, high profile fund-raising campaign. Our sole purpose will be to raise enough money so that next year during build season we can charter our own airplace with mid-air refueling capabiliites. As the last week of the build period approaches, we will move the robot shop into the airplane and take off. We will fly to the west - forever. By moving from time zone to time zone, we should be able to avoid bumping up against the 5:00pm Tuesday (or will it be Thursday again?) deadline for at least two more months. I figure that we can hold out for as long as the Krispy Kremes and Diet Cokes last.
And before anyone even mentions it, our intention is to just ignore that silly International Date Line. That should not be a problem, as it doesn't even really exist (I know this for a fact - the last time I flew from Los Angeles to Sydney, I looked out the window the whole time, and I never, ever saw the line anywhere - so there!).
