Re: How many days have you lost to snow or other inclement weather?
Greetings folks,
Looks like those who have lost multiple weeks of build time due to weather will not be getting relief from FIRST. I've just had my first full meeting with my kids in 13 days today. We are going to work as many hours as we can through Sunday before the next storm comes in Monday.
I am having a hard time believing that FIRST doesn't feel the urgent need for relief for smaller teams with little or know corporate support. Working out of a school is not something we want to do, it's something we have to do. We are having to choose between meeting a deadline and following district policy. I know the robot is just the vehicle, but it is hard to get excited about a "brave little toaster" when we could have done so much more given the same amount of build time as others had. I'm sorry for being negative. I'm just not feeling very inspired atm.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
