Re: Early Uncrating Team

The intention of this wonderful rule is to uncrate the things you have in your crate and get the crates out ASAP before the FIRSTers take over. This enables the pallet truck people to navigate more easily and allows people bringing tools in to get there without wading through massive amounts of people.

So I would say no to the laptops: there will be plenty of time to get the system up. (I hoped you checked with the venue to make sure the wireless LAN was acceptable)

And as to doing anything else, as long as it does not involve the robot in ANY way it should be OK. The reason we did not want people drilling holes in Richmond is that we thought people were working on their robot. If you work on the robot you could get DQ'd before the regional ever started and there would be no fun in that.

Just remember- before your pit completely expands be sure that the robots around you have been uncrated. (We want to keep the drayage folks happy)
