Re: It's ship date! Is YOUR robot ready?

Well, we were ready. Then one of our wheels broke (we do have 2 replacements, so we should be OK.) and then one of the bolts that hold the wheels on broke. We have ordered steel bolts to replace the old ones. They should make it to NH before we do. In reality, we are glad that we were able to test Wombot till he broke before we got to GSR. Hopefully, he will be a little bit more robust at the competition.

It is 7 PM Ship Day here now, and we shipped yesterday around noon. I expect that Wombot is getting ready for customs to inspect him. Now we are hoping that the big snow storm in NH doesn't delay him--or us!!!
