Re: Weather and Shipping Deadline Extensions

I believe last year, some teams in the the northeast their shipping delayed by 1 day because FedEx had a scheduling issue with their lift gate trucks. But you certainly couldn't plan on that and teams needed the FedEx documentation to attest that it wasn't their issue.

I know that teams have used off-site resources for building - machine shops, American Legion halls, a team in CT builds in a specialty car shop if I remember right and so on. Could you plan to move to a sponsor's site?

Last year, we received our cRio and driver station parts early. Within days, we had an ice storm and lost power for 12 days. We were on generator power but didn't want to trust the variable output from the generator. As people have said, stuff happens.

I hope your weather and streets clear and you can get back to work as soon possible.
