More documents.

It looks like 2531 was dropped and 4239 was added to the team list.

Team 3275 is going to have to drop. Our school administration has deemed it unsafe to travel. I would expect other teams from Northern MN will be doing the same.

[BJT]

It looks like we, team 876, will be unable to get there due to the winter storm between Fargo and Minneapolis.🙁

[BumblingBuilder]

Thank you, Minnesota's weather pattern:'(

To everyone not dropping out for weather, stay safe during travel!

[Chief Hedgehog]

Big Lake (9607) and Becker (4607) will be there. However, due to early dismissal today, we will not have the much needed time to help Big Lake put the final touches on GreenHorns Rivvet. So tomorrow we will need some help straight away when we get there.

Safe travels everyone - it is already getting messy out here by St Cloud!

[Jon Stratis]

If anyone from Prior Lake is looking at this thread, an FYI - the person that's in charge of managing the waitlist for the event has a full voicemail box. It's hard to get in touch with our status when we can't leave her a message!

I'm assuming the event is still on. I'm leaving Duluth right now so I can make it to set up the field.

If there is enough KING TeC people available who can help with whatever you will need (unloading, robot work, etc), I will make sure you guys are helped. Some kids (me included) will be busy with practicing/playing in the KING TeC band at the FLL competition on the other side of the school, but there is great deal of people on our team that are not assigned a job between 7-8 am that should be able to aid you.

I have sent an email to our coaches regarding the problem. I'm hoping we can rectify this justifiably aggravating problem as soon as possible.

[Zach101]

The Daredevils will be making the trip to Prior Lake despite weather conditions. If anything develops overnight I will keep you guys informed.
