Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

Our robot was shipped today at about 2:30 this afternoon. And am I glad. No more meetings untill VCU. Now i can catch up on homework and sleep. YEAHHH. I just hope our robot and crate make it to VCU in one piece. And then it is on to Annapolis then to Atlanta and finally back home. The Fed-Ex guy was cool he was amazed about the number of robots that are going through BWI this week, But we were the only box in the truck, plenty of breathing room for our bot.

Always,

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

The RoboDevils are pleased to announce the "birth" of Luci!!
She weighed in at 129.5 pounds last evening at 2:20 AM.
At exactly 2:11 PM this afternoon she was swaddled in stretch wrap and sent on her way to St. Louis. (OK we swaddled the crate not the robot..)

We were first on the truck, but the driver said there were several more robots yet to be picked up.

... and now it's time for about 36 straight hours of sleep ... zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

just got our bot crated up... with the last side of the crate it seemd that all the memories were sucked out, the late nights, the smell of hot metal, burining silicon, the total confusion, slight orgnization, crimping, recrimping, building and rebuilding. getting every last detail right.

lol i think i get a little to into this. i realy have nothing to do with my self now that this is over... homework? whats that??? oh i know, i could spend the week writing our atonomus mode!!

warhawks chimara shiped at 3:45pm crated at 2:45pm e.s.t.

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

We shipped ours..

and considering it still doesn't move, i'd say we have quite a bit of work to do at the regional..

although all our subsystems work pefectly...

I think we did things in the wrong order

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

We crated at noon and packed up the robot and batteries. We then thought we would be clever and drive the robot to our FEDEX facility. When we got inside we found out that they do not accept any packages over 150 pounds. So we scrambled to call the freight pick up and got our robot loaded from in front of the school at 4:35pm. Now I can breath again!!!! So lesson learned- Don't be clever just call and get it picked up.

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

Since I've been sitting in bed sick, I have no idea if or when our robot was shipped -- but I'm sure happy that it's gone

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

FedEx told us they'd be here between 3 and 5 in the afternoon... We started welding the final pieces on the frame at 3 PM, and just as luck had it, the FedEx guy walked right in at 3:10... And then we discovered that a brace in our crate wouldn't allow our robot to go in fully, so after much chaos Miss Daisy sped away...

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

449 shipped, but just barely. We crated at 7pm wed, fully driving, all systems opperational. Pictures:
http://www.mbhs.edu/~aajohnso/robo04/
Latest are at "final tests".

Now, here's what i did today:
Only two people showed up to the robot meeting , as we had already crated, so i left. As i was leaving, i saw our treasurer in the hall, so i started talking to her about our financial situation. One of our mentors came by and asked if the crate went out. I had no clue. So i run down to the dock. As i'm going down that back hall i start thinking "have some faith, it will have shipped". Well it hadn't. So i call our main teacher sponsor, Dr. D, and run back to the room to talk to the other teachers. I determine that due to a mixup, no one had called FedEx. It's now 3:30. So i call Dr. D back, get the account number and such, and call up fedex. Their automated system thought it was going to be picked up from some other location (possibly we got someone else's label). After talking to two people, and waiting on hold, i get them to arrange a pickup. They then ask for the ship to zip code. I had no clue, so i run back to the loading dock and read it off of the crate. They sent a truck, and said "It'll be there by 5:40 or 6". I'm thinking oh crap, it has to be sent by 5. But there wasnt anything she could do. I go back to the room, and decide that i should probably try and meet the fedex guy so that there arent any problems. I call fedex back to have them give me a call when the guy gets there, and after like 5 min. of searching through their computer the guy finds the order and adds the phone number. At 4:40 i get a phone message, saying that he is here, but there is a car in the way and he can only wait around for 10 min. So i sprint out there to talk to the guy, we made an announcement to try and find the owner of the car. As we're waiting i'm trying to talk to him to keep him interested and there as long as possible. At 4:46 the car got moved. I started thinking "wouldnt it be cool if we shipped at 4:49?" (we are team 449) but alas it took him until 4:53 to get the crate in the truck. So the robot made it on the truck, with 7 min. to spare.
Disaster avoided.

The fedex guy said that he had picked up one other crate that day, and other drivers had picked up a bunch more. Everyone on the phone also seemed to know about it. Guess they got a lot of calls lately.

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

FedEx guys shows up at 10:30AM (early).
(I was not happy)

Sent him away and told him to come back later.
(he was not too happy)

First team got pickup at 3:30pm.
Second and third team got pickup at 4:00pm.
Fourth team got pickup at 6:30PM!
(Team4 was definitely not happy)

Took the team captains & coaches to dinner and celebrated at Applebee!
(Everyone was happy.... except the guy who paid ...me not happy with the bill)

This was a tough day..... but I'm happy it is over.
