South Carolina Kickoff Event Cancelled

[Kevin Thorp]

This came from Frank Lanford, Regional Director, FIRST Palmetto Regional Robotics:

Hello Teams....

We have just confirmed that the 2017 Palmetto Regional (edit: I'm sure he meant to type ""Kickoff Event") has been canceled due to the pending weather conditions. We have been advised by state highway department personnel that we should avoid planning on travel on Saturday, if at all possible. While most of the inclement weather is expected in the upstate and through the midlands, we feel that it is better to caution on the side of safety.

Therefore, we have arranged with the Center of Advanced Learning in Chapin, SC, where our Kickoff was scheduled to provide at block of time that teams can send a representative in and pickup their KOPs. Teams will be able to pick up their KOPs between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 11th. This pickup will be at the same location as the Kickoff was planned.

Be safe.

Note: If you can't get your eager little fingers on all the cool parts, the next best thing is to review the KOP checklist (encrypted,of course).

Um....2017 Palmetto Regional?

Seems like kind of a big typo there.

Yeah, I suppose Mr. Lanford was in a hurry & more than a little frustrated when he wrote the email. I corrected it above.

Perhaps he's psychic and knows that it will be snowy again in six weeks.
