Happy Ship Day

[Peter Matteson]

Proper method of celebrating Ship Day:

1) Find a designated driver. At this point most of you are so delerious from sleep deprivation I don't want you behind the wheel.

2) Go home. Not the shop. This is the place where you keep your stuff.

3) Shower. This is probably really necessary for most of you right now cause you're a little ripe from being the the shop for 3 days.

4) Sleep! Climb in bed and recover. Your going to need to be ready for the lack of sleep when regionals start in 2 weeks.

Happy ship day to all!

How are we going to celebrate?

Well, let me just say that the legal age here in Quebec is 18, and leave it at that.

Happy Ship Day!

man we are just sitting here waitin for fedx so it is a happy ship day we arent hustling to get done and plus we are in michigan and it is a pretty nice day out today and there was no school so it is better than last year when we had like 6 inches of snow it is about 35 to 40 degrees and sunny that is nice compared to 7 and 13 the last couple of days

The shipping folks gave us a wide window for pickup of our robot.. 9am-5pm. So all the other mentors are taking shifts awaiting pickup.

Not me! I celebrate the end of build season by getting sick! Ugh!

since our shop is located in the high school we've had to work with the school's hours... last night we could only go till 4 but we somehow stayed till 5 anyway
today we got to the school early and and worked non-stop till we saw it was already 11:30
a senior from our team was supposed to leave the school with the robot by 12 to bring it to a warehouse (we desided to bring it ourselves instead of having FedEx do it so we'd have more time) so we quickly brought the robot up to the scale and were happy to see that we had shed the extra weight that we needed to and had brought it down to 119.5 lbs
now that the robot is gone we are realizing that the trenton regional is next week
time sure flies when your building a robot
happy ship day everyone!

I am completely burnt, lol. I need some recovery time. But I'm glad it's more or less done. there are a few things to be taken care of, but it was a crazy season and things came together as they should. But I'm glad to be home this early, lol.

I hope every single FIRST team is observing a time-honored engineering tradition:

MILESTONE PARTY!

no matter how things go on an engineering project you ALWAYS have a party after a major milestone. We dont celebrate the results, we celebrate the effort!

I'm glad were done but I can't celebrate....
There is no school this week so that means reruns on Cartoon Network, Dora the Explorer on Nick, and boring movies on Comedy Central

We shipped our robot (1141) at 1:30 on Tuesday. We were very lucky to get it out of the school then because a half-hour later there was a fire and the school was evacuated and no one was allowed back in until this morning.
