Looking for Shipping Info for 2016 Championships

[Fusion_Clint]

I pulled the link because it is a google doc, posting it for public consumption could really screw up the Worlds shipping process.

I was not trying to secretive, any team that earns a spot will receive the information.

Thank you all so much for the help! I have a few clarifying questions:

Are there any forms/paperwork that our team needs to complete for shipping, outside of those referenced in the email?

Is it true that our robot needs to be shipped out by tomorrow? The email seems to say that scheduling pickup can take some time. It says here that it needs to be picked up by Tuesday (tomorrow), but it's an unofficial source and I'd like to be certain of its validity.

Thanks again!

That particular document is a couple of years out of date; the links go to the 2014 Manual (and Steele Meetings no longer does the hotels etc for teams). Not quite sure who linked you there (though I have my suspicions based on the original author).

I would go with the email (your Main and Alternate contacts should have it by now) as it's most definitely current. If that says that the shipping arrangements can take a couple of weeks, then that's the way it is.

At this point, you should definitely have your bagged robot and lockup form ready to load, and your crate under construction if not completed. You'll want to get a quick weight of both (and probably the robot cart) before loading up--that will tell you how much weight in parts/tools you can put into the crate.
