Shipping

More teams than ever this year are going to multiple events. Allowing teams to take their robot to make repairs that cannot be made on event site is important to maintain quality machines. Also in many cases the next event may be local and they can drive it to drayage by the deadline saving many valuable $$$, a very important issue.

Nothine worse than shipping a robot that is damaged and needs repair and the students are not allowed to do it in their own shop.

The year we all shipped from event to event caused the machine shops to be flooded with repairs, many of the robots were not repaired as well as if they had been done by the students that created them. Adults, strangers to the team were making the repairs.

I will go out on a limb here, I know I will get all kinds of hate e-mails, but ........ I think all teams should keep their robot and bring or ship to the event as required. this allows the teams that cannot go to multiple events the time to practice and refine their machine. Think of the quality/competitive machines there would be. Afterall in Industry don't they keep improving a product once it is released? They don't just say live with your mistakes.

I know I will hear about this! Please be kind.
