i know we are gonna be working since a few of our parts wont come in til tuesday...we are so behind

who else is in this situation

[Beth Sweet]

Well, I do believe that Fed-Ex stops pickups at 5 (correct me if I'm wrong) so that's probably as late as you'll be workin!

[Billfred]

I get the feeling that I'll be the one sweet-talking the FedEx guy at 5:00 on Tuesday to hang on just a biiiiit longer so we can tighten the one last bolt that takes so much work that it'll look like we're rebuilding half of the robot. Or something like that.

We always have our bot boxed up Monday night or very early into Tuesday morning (before 3am).

Currently our robot is being painted so we'll probaly be working till about 12pm tommorow at school till it closes and then at our sponsers warehouse on sunday as long as theyll let us and on monday again as long as theyll let us. Hopefully we'll get it all finished in time.

I'm currently sitting on my bed, next to an edubot controller, tangle of wires/sensors, two backup batteries charging, multimeter and the only reason I'm posting is because I'm waiting for the fresh code to download.

Yeah, I'd say it's about crunch time.

Biggest FIRST lesson this year:

Soft objects do not have standard deflection characteristics.

We may be in trouble...

[Adam Richards]

Well, I won't be working until midnight, but I sure will be working about 22 hours in the next four days on robotics...

Likely 9am-5pm tomorrow (no school), 9am-3pm Saturday, 12pm-4pm Sunday, and 1-5 Monday (no school again), and then when I get there on Tuesday, its all crated up and I get to say bye to it for two weeks...

Not us, we actually somehow got ahead of schedule due to major engineering changes. And, since we had to start from week 2-3 because of administration problems, so I think we're doing just fine. One problem though, it still doesn't have a name!!

[Chriszuma]

Yeah, we'll definitely be working until midnight on monday, but we have to get the robot to shipping at 2pm on tuesday. We had a lot of rookies this year, so there was a lot of ball-droppage and we're pretty behind.

[Michelle Celio]

Not us that's for sure, I think we really could use the time to perfect somethings here and there, but because of our location and things, anything after 8pm is not an option.

[JonBell]

Well, next week is vacation for us, and we're undergoing massive demolition + reconstruction. IE, they've been closing the hallways every day after 3pm (school's done at 2:15) and the entire building will be sealed starting saturday. So our pickup is at 5:00 tomorrow evening. Woohoo? We got in our last minute stuff this evening, /and/ were only there till ~8:30. Then again, a few things are sub-optimal, but we're pretty enthused

[bobotics319]

our team has been working everyday this week till 9ish and this weekend we will work everyday from 9 till whatever time.. as long as we have food. to keep us going

[KTorak]

Lets see....
11AM-6PM or so tonight
12PM-6/7PM Saturday and Sunday
12pm-? Monday.

I also have an essay due + book to finish reading by Tuesday.

Luckily, our only problem is that we haven't a chance to test our autonomous code... at all. Oh, and having "magic smoke" pour out of the bot when the bump sensor's wires short circuited didn't help. We probably will be done late Monday, early Tuesday. (i hope)
