Certainly much better than early this morning. If you stick to the main roads you should be okay by tomorrow, they should be salting the roads tonight and plowing through the night as well.

Someone should reach out to 5763 (Lightning Robotics) to see if they can help get them to competition. They are from Broomfield. They wrote that because of the snow day that they won't be able to compete in the event (https://twitter.com/Lightning5763/st...5215914881024).

I offered some encouragement, letting them know that there will be a number of delayed teams, and also offered help if they do make it. They are a second year team from Legacy High School in the Adams 12 Five Star school district.

I can't do much more than that, but maybe there is someone in this thread with more knowledge about their team, mentors, school, and local conditions that can help.

For now, FIRST events are a little different than some other school activities in that they aren't easily cancelled/rescheduled during bad weather and they are a culmination of a lot of work by the team. Usually explaining this to school administrators is enough to cut through the red tape to try and make the event, even during some not great weather.

Denver Public Schools is again closed today; for some teams this will likely mean that they won't have access to their robots until Friday. Teams from Denver, please try to contact your school's facility manager, many of them will still come in to plow sidewalks and such. Perhaps they will let you in to get your robots.

1339 was able to pack up our stuff and we will have a mini machine shop available, including sanders, a band saw, an arbor press, a hex broach, a drill press, several 3D printers, and a variety of tools. We will also have students available to help you with whatever you need. I really hope that everyone can make it in!

Not that I feel this good internet protocol, but here's my cell number: 3038032980

Text me if you need help.

Please remember that the Colorado FIRST team is doing field setup without an FTA, due to a cancelled flight, and that everyone else is in the same (or worse) position to you and you team. We are all in this together. This will be a heroic day!

3200 is in the same boat as many of you guys. With the Cherry Creek School District closed, we are still trying to figure out if students can come to competition and if we can pack some stuff up.

3807 with Overland can't come this morning because Cherry Creek School District is closed. Last I heard our coach was trying to get approval to pack and come sometime this afternoon.

Team 4418 is lucky to have access to their robot this morning, especially because cheesecake can take some time to bake. We will have some spare people to help out if anybody needs some .
