How close...

[hardcopi]

How close did everyone get to midnight before they bagged and tagged?

11:57PM If you notice in the lower right side of the picture you can see our practice bot.

Have you guys ever considered driving with your robot to illinois to take advantage of an extra hour of build season?

Central Time Zone welcomes our eastern neighbors!

I actually mentions that to one of our mentors. Considering it would take 2.5 hours of riving to gain and hour, it was pretty obvious that I was joking around

So let's say you were on your wou to the central time zone, and it struck midnight... Would you need to bad your robot? And then could you unbag your robot for a maximum of 1 hour if you then drove into the central time zone?

Or you could fly west and have several hours to continue work, until the airplane reached the international date line. You could work on the robot on the plane.

That's why you live in japan so you have 10(?) extra hours..

We got done around 11:48 this time.

Do not mention this to the build team, I can already see chartering flights. The fun part is our bagged robot is pristine. It has never had power run to it. Our practice bot is taking the learning curve abuse, but the competition bot won't be run until the time before our first event.

Is that really that smart, not even testing it once .

[hardcopi]

We have run the motors to test the mechanisms, just not everything together. We also have an identical bot, so it isn't as bad as I made it sound. The only things we should need to do in our 6 hours is power it up, deploy the final code and we should be good to go. Hopefully the only difference between our competition bot and practice bot will be that the practice bot has been flipped over a few times during practice.

Crazy hour being 12am, that would not be fun.

We bagged at 8:40pm. Nobody really complained.

I'm not sure when we started bagging but after that bag was tagged, it was exactly 11:59. We basically drove the robot until right before needing to bag it.

9:00 PM... We did not push it...

We were working with a nearby team - #949, Bellevue High School.

We bagged at 9:48 PM and they bagged theirs at 9:49 PM.
