Re: So Its Ship Date

Just some general advice....this also goes for regional scouting for those involved:

What did you do in the days/hours leading up to ship? Were you still building your robot? Did you practice at all? What kinds of autonomous (for us vintage FIRSTers) mode strategies did you get in by the ship date? Where is your robot overall, as opposed to 100% of where you think you need to be going into regionals? If the calibration changes on the scales (which happens a lot after ship), will you have to make major changes? Are you shipping the bot in full or in pieces?

Believe it or not, the answers you will get to these questions automatically tells you which teams to keep a major eye on (both good and bad) during competition. If any major construction beyond normal maintenance is done in the pits or a small....it may also be a more telling sign.

Good luck, relax, and have an age-appropriate drink!
