How close...

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.

11:37pm PST. We wanted to play it safe.

I forgot that some of Indiana was on CST. Did i mention that I didn't do too well in geography? Haha.

We were prepared to stay til midnight, but our mentors were not. They insisted that we be out of the doors by 10:30 and no later. SO, the bot was bagged and tagged by 11:01, and we were out of the door by 11:30. Not a bad night.

We literally bagged the Robot at 12:00:00. We had to make a last minute change in the code that we didn't want to have to sit on so we had to wait for it to build and then deploy. it was a race to the finish for us to get this last minute change in, and since we didn't have a practice robot we needed to be sure that we got it right before we sealed the bag.

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

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