FIRST,

Now is the time to speak up on the shipping issue with regard to the last two regionals.

Lack of information could be driving people to decisions that they would not make if they had the whole story.

To all teams:

Consider driving your own robot down to FL.

With a lockable robot box and pre-planning with FIRST, you can have another team (or even some local person of good repute, a Congressman for instance) lock your robot up, thus fulfilling FIRST's 'out of your hands': requirement.

Then drive your own robot down. Once at the competition, FIRST can provide you the means to unlock your box (usually the combination faxed to FIRST by the locker or the key FedExed to FIRST or a bolt cutter if all else fails ;-).

The drive is not particularly pleasant, but it is fairly reliable, even given a 3 day shipping window.

Consider it if it works for you. It is very nice knowing that if your robot is not there on time, at least you know where it is.

Joe J.
