Re: Shipping Stories -- Tales of Mid-February
As I recall, the night before ship we were at the lab at 10:00 or 11:00 PM and needed to put the robot in the crate for shipping to Richmond. Unfortunately the only students who had stayed that late were programmers. So we set them off with the task of securing the robot to the inside of the create
Thirty minutes later, wondering what was taking so long, we decided to check on their progress. They had suspended the robot from the ceiling of the crate with U-bolts and tie-down straps. We reminded them that we needed the robot tied down, not up.
Eventually, the whole process took about an hour, near the end of which one of the mentors exclaimed: "we could have driven it there by now!" Which was funny because it was true.
