Somebody definitely dropped the ball on that one. Has anyone on your team inquired to FIRST lately about that. When you have enough problems trying to build a robot in six weeks I don't want to think about trying to do it in three!

Re: Still no kit of parts

I havent received our missing parts either - nothing important, just the aluminum hex things that connect the motors to the driveshaft..... how long does it take to throw them in a bag and ship? I don't know.....

Re: Still no kit of parts

wow, i really feel bad for u guys. Thats ridiculous that u havent got essential parts in, such as drive train parts (i know nothing about anything) or solenoids. This gives a MAJOR advantage to other teams, just beacause of the time frame used for practice, etc.

Re: Still no kit of parts

It's the end of week four and we still have not received the IR sensors or the Beacon LEDs and circuit boards. It's getting kind of late to do anything with IR tracking.

Re: Still no kit of parts

we havent received any of our missing parts either. We are missing a whole bunch of IR stuff, some solenoids, and random other stuff. We only really care about the solenoids at this point, since we bought the IR stuff rather than wait. It's time to raise hell with FIRST. They said everything was mailed a week ago. There's no way that it cant get to us all in a week.

Cory
