Re: Shipping the RC
The RC MUST be shipped with the robot. You are not allowed to keep it. You may only keep the OI.
OK, so it appears that you have committed a major rules violation and you are screwed, so what to do now? The best advice I can give you is call FIRST the very first thing in the morning. Ask to talk to Bob Hammond. Explain what happened, and throw yourself on the mercy of FIRST. Offer to immediately pack up the RC and FedEx it anywhere they desire as proof that it is no longer in your possession, to be returned only when you get to the competition event. Offer to, in exchange for the "free time" you had with the RC, not participate in any practice sessions on the Thursday of your first competition and go into your first match on Friday "as-is" after reinstalling the RC.
The worst they can do is say "no" - and they just might say "yes."
