Re: Fire This Weekend in Team 5871 Chickadees Work Space
 Wow. Good to hear that the building was unoccupied when the fire started, and nobody was injured. The robot in your picture held up surprisingly well given the conditions, IMO. I can make out a wheel. It looks like an AM14U3, but bent. Since aluminum melts at over 1200 degrees F, the bent frame shows how hot it probably was inside the building. Not to mention additional damage caused by water and falling objects. Sorry for your loss. Best of luck to you in recovering from the fire.

I don't know if there's any precedent for this, but it could be worth contacting frcteams@firstinspires.org and seeing if you could make arrangements to get a 2017 rookie kit instead of a 2016 rookie kit. Given that you were rookies in 2016 and just basically lost all of that and more, it seems not unreasonable to try to arrange. |
+1. This sounds like a good idea. You may not get it, but it can't hurt to ask.
