Re: To extend or not to extend the ship date!

Speaking as the president of a team who lost both Tuesday and Wednesday due to inclement weather, I still think that the official ship date should not be extended. Not every team has been affected by this very strange blast of arctic weather, so not all teams should benefit from an extension in their deadline. HOWEVER, FIRST might consider extending the ship dates of teams who were affected. Either that, or allow specific teams at regionals an extension in their pit times, depending on their situation, because not all teams at a regional will have been affected. Regardless, teams, like mine, should put in some overtime hours in order to get their robot done by the 20th. I doubt FIRST will do anything (except extend times for the teams that might work under 12' of snow) about the weather, so STICK WITH IT TEAMS!!

May the force, and lots of food, be with you.
