Re: Is your team ready ?
This is probably the MOST prepared we have ever been.
That said, NO we are not ready.

Do we have much of a choice tho?

A lot of Georgia FIRST got snowed in this weekend, and we were definitely not ready for kickoff events to be cancelled. : (

Re: Is your team ready ?
I was ready, but then a snowmageddon came and Kickoff Cancellation threads kept coming, and...

Can we just delay Kickoff for maybe a week?

No. One does not just "be ready" for FRC build season.

But hey! At least we get to stay home in the warmth watching the broadcasts from our couches. Hot Cocoa here I come.

The big downside is the fact that if you are based out of a school (my team is) then you lose a lot of team brainstorming time.

Take it a 'another challenge' and talk to the judges at your regionals/districts about how you overcame snowmageddon

Re: Is your team ready ?
If you are convinced you are ready you don't understand the problem. The correct feeling is the one you have at the top of a roller coaster.
