I should further emphasize that this was pre-Kitbot FIRST. What's more, they finished around the middle of the Archimedes division, which was pretty stacked that year (including stacked with the eventual world champions). If it can be done under those conditions in 12 hours, it can be done in most any situation.

While this is impressive, it was by no means accomplished alone. I can't find the original account, but many many teams turned out to help with the "One Day Wonder." So take comfort in that if you must ship a box of parts, every team with man power to spare (and some who don't have manpower to spare) will be there to help you out.
