I have a friend who heard from a friend who has it on good authority that...

FIRST was thinking about maybe considering helping to arrange for some sort shipping method for the teams that are competing at the last two regionals.

I don't know whether to believe it or not.

Logistically, I can't imagine how it could work.

Air freight is the only answer I can think of.

Perhaps FIRST has managed to get Airborne Express or some such company to ship the 70 or so crates for the affected teams.

While I have no idea about the particulars, I am confident that FIRST has thought about this issue and has a plan to deal with it.

Stay tuned...

Joe J.

P.S. perhaps FIRST's plan is to remove the 3 repair days from the schedule, forcing teams to recrate their robot at the end of each regional and ship it directly to their next competition. I would hate it, but it would be one way to address a portion of the 'unfair' advantage multi-regional teams gain over single-regional teams.
