Re: Getting Tools to Atlanta

Lots of ways and most of them are already listed here:

1) If you have family / friends that have some free space to spare ship the items to them and pick it up when you get there. And Visa Versa when you leave bring the stuff back to them and arrange for the same carrier who delivered the items to come and pick it up.

2) See if anyone on the team has intentions of driving to the Hotel & Event find out if they have some space in their vehicle to take some items with them.

3) Bring some stuff on the plane as Luggage. (Don't exactly know what the Carrier will allow onboard their plane so make sure there's no chemicals or sharp pointy objects to start with.)

4)Call the Hotel you are staying at and see if they'll be able to accept & hold a shipped package and ship the items to them.

5) Build another crate and ship the stuff to the drayage company and tell them to hold that as well for the Championship. Shipping & Handling Fees need to be delt with by the Team. FIRST can only ensure delivery of the robot and anything inside the crate with the robot. Everything else if I'm not mistaken is the Teams responsibility.
