[BB] And we're off.

Good Morning Teams,

I’m excited to say, robot shipments have started. A few teams are far enough ahead of the curve that their robots are already on their way to week one events. How do I know? I was contacted by FedEx. We also have our first overweight robot crate and it’s not just a little over weight, it’s almost 600lb over the limit. If I didn’t make it clear before, please understand the 400lb limit is the TOTAL weight of the crate and all the contents. If a team ships a crate weighing 1000lb, they use up 2 ½ times their share of the total FedEx donation which will cost all FRC teams in the long run. The FedEx donation is generous, but its not unlimited.

Please weigh your crate and adjust your shipment as necessary. If your scale can’t handle 400+lb, weigh the individual components then add them together to find the total weight. You can save your team and FRC some big bucks.

5 days until Robot Ship Day
See you there!





Wow there are some teams out there I don't like now, early shipment
