Re: Give us a waver*FREE Robots*God Bless

We're in Richmond and we've had a total of 2 school days in the past two weeks. BUT we planned ahead and met most snow days at our mentor's house and actually accomplished a great deal. Now, I understand that other teams have different situations (namely more snow in NOVA), but the point is that things CAN get accomplished during non-physical build days. Every snow day we didn't build was spent communicating through email and planning what we would do, CADding, addressing potential problems, working on awards, etc.

The reason I say this is that FIRST isn't going to give an extension and quite frankly, I would feel guilty accepting such an extension because we did get a lot done. I'm sure there are other teams out there who did the same thing, so it's a very hard call for FIRST. Blanket extensions always make someone mad.
