To extend or not to extend the ship date!

[redbarron]

I think a extension of the ship date is a fair decision. The school district I am in does not let us come into the the school on snow days and when they cancel the after school activities, and those of you that said to take things home and work on them are assuming all thats left is assembly, programming, and adjustments. We personally have some machining that needs done before we can proceed in the build, and I dont think anyone on our team has a mill sitting in their basement. In order to assemble you need the parts, in order to program you need a running assembled robot, and in order to make adjustments you have to have something running to know it needs adjusted. Those of you that work out of a sponsors shop that is fortunate for you but we work out of our school and its impossible to get in when school is cancelled, which means we have had 5 weeks to build our robot. Whatever FIRST decides to do, as far as the ship deadline, will be in their opinion fair to all teams, so we are at the mercy of their decision. I just hope they review their decision again before the 20th.
