Your main and alternate team contacts should have already received an email from the Regional Director this morning around 8 AM. Have these contacts make sure they are checking email throughout the day as I expect there will be updates.

I am recommending that teams not try to do load in while the storm is this bad. My team is waiting until the morning at this point. Please realize that ALL teams are effected by the weather, and you won't lose any advantage to other teams due to late starts and slow drives. Be safe! Some teams (Denver Public Schools, for instance) can't even get to their robots today, and it's even possible that the schools will be closed tomorrow as well.

Post your team's robot picture on TBA.

These photos are synced to the TBA app and will be a good resource for scouting.

As of right now I'm holding my breath in regards to the regional itself.

I'm more worried about the teams that flew out today

Hey Everyone, our flight was cancelled today and the earliest we can get in there is late in the day tomorrow (let's hope no further delays/cancellations). We sure are going to miss that crucial Thursday inspection/practice time, but hopefully we can get up and running quickly once we arrive.

I know we aren't the only ones held up by the storm. How's everyone's travel situation?

Storm or not, Denver is still an awesome regional and I'm sure we'll make the most of it. Look forward to seeing you all there sooner or later.

Hi there...team 4499 has you covered... What can we do to help? Since we already have lunch planned we will come up with plan b for your team... Is there anything we can do to help with your robot? Did you ship it? My internet/email is down so until they fix it communicating with me on cd is probably best. Do you have my cell phone number?

[IronicDeadBird]

Any out of state teams have any requests or need any help from locals?

[EagleOne]

You folks are so amazing. This is one reason we love coming to the Colorado Regional!

Our crate with our robot, batteries, one bumper and minimal supplies is there. Everything else is flying in with us tomorrow. If I could get the inspectors to approve my lockup form via emailed PDF then it might be possible that some of you there could uncrate, unbag and at least get the measure and weigh portion of inspection started for us. I wouldn't want to take anything away from your preparations though, so only if you have the people and time to do it.

Maybe this sort of thing could work for other delayed teams who had their robot shipped. As soon as we arrive we will gladly pitch in to help any of the others who need help.

I don't know if it's cool to post my personal contact info here but I can text/email Debbie from the Highlanders with my info if anyone is up for pitching in with such a huge favor.

I am so moved by everyone's generosity. And Highlanders, you guys set a new standard for gracious professionalism. I don't know how we could ever make it up to you.

THANKS!

I wonder if it is legal to bring in a Keurig and hot cocoa into the pit.

Tommy,
No worries at all we are here for you guys. Can you text me a picture of the robot lock up form. I will talk with them tonight/in the morning... We are arriving in about an hour at the venue. Also we will charge up your batteries and have them ready. We will have food for you guys too! We got this! You guys are the best and we will have some extra kids and alumni that will be able to help all day! The roads are looking much better already so you guys should be good for your arrival tomorrow! When do you arrive? Let me know if you need my number and ill pm it to you. Travel safe!
