Please clarify the definition of midnight in the robot ship rule:
Quote:
6.6.1.1 Crate Shipment Deadline and Requirement
ALL team crates must leave the team's hands or be delivered to the team’s initial event’s drayage warehouse
by midnight local time February 21, 2006.
Is midnight one minute after 11:59 pm, or is it one minute before 12:01 am?

Re: Definition of midnight
If you ship at any time on February 21, 2006 you will be in compliance with the "by midnight local time" rule.
Oh thanks, that really helps.
(please lets not start a discussion on when a day starts or ends)

OK, I'm a new mentor for FRC, and the main mentor asked me to check into shipping rules. Other deadlines (such as Chairman's) specify 11:59 pm. I didn't want our team to get Cinderella'd because there was a misunderstanding in regard to which day midnight belonged to - that's all.
