So, Anyone Else's Flight Canceled

[Otaku]

If you show up late on Thursday and need help with your bots, ask for "Michael Baker" or "Baker" from 675. I'm a scout, though, so I might be hard to locate.

I'll see about having bright pink duct tape on my shoulders (since it'd be an identifiable factor).

I am stuck in St. Louis until the morning, 269 made it down finally at 8PM Eastern, ran to the dome and uncrated the bot in about 4 minutes at 8:55PM.

All of our engineers are making it down fine, as well as ONE team member (fortunately, the base driver). The rest of us won't be there until at least 4PM on Thursday however.

Our hotel-mates, 107, had their flight cancelled today and was taxi'd over to Detroit from Grand Rapids. They showed up around 9:00.

I'm flying into ATL from BOS tomorrow evening. We're supposed to get a good amount of rain, sleet and snow, so here's hoping I can make my flight!

Best wishes to everyone caught in the weather and stay safe!

We took a 12 hour bus ride from Ann Arbor Michigan today.

It rained 95% of the time there... sheesh. At least the temperatures are nicer down here.

Good luck to everyone in getting here!

When are you flying out? My flight leaves at 6:07pm, and I'm worried about the weather. Traveling to the airport in slush during rush hour ought to be an adventure in itself, and I want to make sure I have all my bases covered unless I need to switch flights or something.

I should pack.

Flight's at 7:30 on Delta, I'm hoping to get to the airport at 5:30. We'll see how it goes

a good half of team 1458 had a 30 min layover in houston, but the flight was delayed for 2 and a half hours finally got into ATL at 130 in the morning.

Sorry to hear about folks not being able to get to Atlanta today. I hope you make it soon. I am sending this from the Autodesk wireless laptops in the pits, so if you need access once you get here check it out.
Good luck with your transportation.

Our first group got delayed 7 hours but eventually got there.

If man was meant to fly... robots would have wings.
Wait... some do. never mind.

Places I am right now:

• Cleveland, Ohio

My flight leaving Boston at 6:07 got delayed an hour, but supposedly my connecting flight was delayed an hour too. It turns out they changed their mind and un-delayed my connection while I was in the air. I'm arriving at ATL 9:23am tomorrow, so I'll still be there for most of tomorrow!

And all I got was a $49 Ramada room.

After watching the weather forecast, I don't think our weather and snow travel woes are over yet. According to the latest forecast I saw today, on Sunday/Monday, a huge Nor'easter with up to Category 3 hurricane-force winds is expected to hit the Northeast, bringing extreme rain, wind, ice, and you guessed it, even more snow.

Hey! That's not all you got, you got a Championship as well!


In other news, Team 292 is in the same boat as 1501 was on the way down. They were headed back this morning when the transmition on their bus went out about 6 hours from home. The company sent another bus while they spent the day hanging out at the mall. They're slated to get home around 3 am. What a weekend to travel.
