Penfield has a bunch of robot crates that have been sitting there since Sunday afternoon, thank goodness all those teams decided to SHIP their robots... had they followed the rules that were in place on Sunday they might have been in trouble!!
Im now thinking that after we ship they will tell us that we arent allowed to bring mechanisms, even though mechanisms are fabricated items... we will have to disassemble and reassemble them at the regional... anyone smell battery cables???? |
Thank you for seeing things from my, and my teams, point of view. Knowledge that we're not crazy is helpful.

I would just like to add, that tomorrow, we will not be shipping/bagging a robot. but instead a few parts. We believe that the GDC is not quite sure how to rule on this, so take our chances we will. We will see what they say in week 4.
