FIRST said we can still register for the LA regional. They did not really answer my question about shipping, so I sent another email asking them agian. We hope for a response tommorow.

Our mentor from Honeywell (who does most of our shipping stuff) luckily heard about our attempt at this early this morning and got contact with the shipping company, they're currently holding the robot in storage for us and waiting. If you haven't your drayage to hold your robot, DO SO IMMEDIATELY. YOUR ABILITY TO COMPETE IN ANOTHER REGIONAL COULD BE AT STAKE. I don't know how leniant FIRST is with the rules pertaining to shipping and robots arriving back in team's hands.

To register for another regional, you must have the main contact you provided to FIRST when you originally registerd send them an email requesting to go to the event.

Since we managed to get the robot to be held in storage (and not in our hands), I think we should be valid to still compete in LA. We just have to make sure we have a school staff member who can take us there and get all the paper work filled out (a board will have to vote on it Friday since it will be an out of state event that must get approved). I don't anticipate many problems there though.

Hope you guys have as much luck as we've had, I'll let you know of anything new I find out!
