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

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.

We got done around 11:48 this time.

Japan is on the other side of the international date line, making it 14 hours ahead.

In other words, it's Thursday here. Why haven't Palmetto practice matches started yet.

1207. Fortunately, that was a few minutes after noon, not midnight. We were aiming to beat the weather rather than the clock this year; we had tornadoes just a few miles down the road in several directions.

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.

I don't know, I left early. The robot was working when I left.

This should be added to the thread "quotes said during the build season".

It's a line that fits our team just about anytime during the 4th to 6th week of the build season. Usually a reply to the question "what the heck happened?"
