By the way, our robot literally split in half (broken weld) during the finals at the Southern California Regional last year. Due to financial restrictions, (FedEx was paying for NASA teams to ship to Nationals) we had to ship the robot directly to Florida from So. CA.. Yes, the robot chassis was cracked in half when we shipped it to Florida! We included a plate of steel in the crate and a second plate was brought with us to the competition. We had the machine shop there cut it to shape, dismantled the entire robot, attached the brace, and had everything up and running in time for our first practice session at 11 AM. Had we not been allowed to bring the brace, we would never have been able to compete in the Nationals.

Did you just bring a sheet of metal with you? Arn't you allowed to bring any raw materials with you/procure at any of the compitions?
I think we must take seriously the importance of "infecting" the rest of the world with this passion. - Tstone [more]
