Re: IRI Robot Transportation

Generally, you make your own arrangements. As Herodotus said, many West Coast teams ship theirs, like it's a regional.

One note: Make sure that the robot is well--covered. Like, something that can keep rain OUT! A team once had their robot covered, but the cover leaked in a rainstorm, and they had to dry out their robot. Wasn't us... We had the unenviable experience of showing up with batteries that couldn't power the robot due to them getting lots of heat en route, some years before. (Before backup batteries...led to some fun with the control system.)
