So we did the smart thing. We sneaked into the school and worked on the robot. Afterwards our head talked to the principal and told him what we did. Our team-school relationship has been getting better since.

You're very lucky that situation worked out as well as it did, as opposed to, say, your principal removing your team from the school for breaking into it while it was closed. Not what I would call the "smart thing"...

Now that the entire country is on the bag and tag system, am I the only one that thinks FIRST should be a little more flexible with waivers for snow days? This can be a safety issue, and it's not like the whole build process isn't pretty much on the honor system anyway...
