Last year we had a very similar scenario occur in Maryland. We found communicating a lot through e-mail and several phone calls worked for us. After the season was over, we decided to build our own team forum in case something like this was to happen again. Losing two weeks last year was bad at the time, but I feel it made the team stronger.

My advice to you: It is still early in the season. Do not hang your head in disappointment. Take this time to have a really good understanding of the game and how you think it is going to be played. Develop sketches and mock-ups of proposed robot designs. E-mail or talk with other team members about your ideas and see what they think. There is plenty of time to build a robot!

Good luck, and hope it warms up
