Re: KOP recieved 11 days late
Not to kill the thread, but everyone needs to face a little reality. FIRST is not going to extend the deadline for a team just because the KOP arrived late. Ain't gonna happen. No way. No use in even talking about it.
There have been some very rare instances where the deadline has been extended due to truly extreme circumstances. Late arrival of the KOP is not one of those reasons.. The Israel and Brazil teams deal with late kit arrivals every year (and the delays they contend with have been much worse than 11 days), and their deadlines are not extended. So it is not reasonable to expect that it will happen here. To their perpetual credit, the Israeli and Brazilian teams always find a way to work around the late arrival of their kits, and still show up with competitive robots. And, more importantly, they have shown year after year that even if their kits show up late they are still able to extract real value and a positive impact out of their experience, no matter what the robot construction limitations may be.
