Re: More Build Time?

In the real world are you going to go complain to your boss about something this small? Life just isn't fair, if your tools break during build season you dint get any more time then teams with working tools do. So you just gotta learn how to play with the hand your dealt. If you think 3-4 hours really matter that much look at tit in a positive way, the teams who have less time are just that much better for doing it in less time.

Also what about the Israeli team, do that have to ship earlier or later then east coast teams?

I know I have.

what if you make a ship to travel as close to the speed of like as you can get so you can build forever. Or if you travel AT the speed of light you will never have to ship but you robot will be infinitely small. But if you never have to ship why are you building a robot. This kinda reminds me of the grandfather paradox.

According to the equation E=MC^2 your robot would also go wayy over weight in this scenario. So you have positives and negatives everywhere.
