Question Shipping Worries
As you may already know the midatlantic region is expecting snow on Monday (aka- the last day of construction). Does any one know what will happen if FedEx can' pick up our robot on Tuesday??? Do you think FIRST will grant a shipping date extension if the weather is bad???

FIRST granted shipping extensions after the 2001 UTC regional due to a large snow storm. I would expect the same if there is a storm Monday/Tuesday.

The northeast had a nasty storm on shipping day or the day before a few years ago. As I recall, FIRST allowed teams who were snowbound to use the honor system if their shippers were not able to pick up the robot. They were expected to have the bot crated and "out of hands." I wouldn't worry about it.
