With this winter being the heaviest snowfall on record, BEFORE the storm yesterday that dropped another 10 inches, and NOT INCLUDING whatever will come from the NEXT possible snowstorm they are now forecasting on Monday, it is quite a difficult situation. Many of the teams I work with are not allowed to meet outside of school without field trip forms. Some school districts have been closed for 13 days, that is 30% of the build season. A poll with the majority of teams in MD, DC and VA has an AVERAGE lost workdays at more than a week, 10 days. Just about any real project out there that suffered a loss of so much of the project time would suck it up, pay the costs, and buy some more time.

This is where some planning and coordination can be helpful, so when teams arrive at events, they will be able to help each other get running and running well quickly.

No robot left behind.
