Does anyone else get depressed when they ship their robot?

[rcflyer620]

In previous years I hated to see it go because I knew it wasn't "done". This year was a little easier because mechanically everything works. I just wish we could have let the programmers play with hybrid mode a little more. Oh well, I guess that's what Thursday is for!
See you at Chesapeake!

Yeahhh i get depressed. Because Robotics is pretty much the only life I have. But yeah NJ next week thats always good.

It's bittersweet. I'm totally drained and I look forward to some R&R but it's always sad to see a build season end but after Atlanta is worse. I have FLR and Championship too look forward too and Webcasts in between.

On another note I hope everyone's build season went well and good luck at your various regionals.

Nah, now I get to work on my various other projects, including a new one I just picked up which is essentially an EARLY robot.

Now, make that a cart to remember...

After the robot was picked up I took the day off from work and went home to sleep...

I was a little sad. Mostly because I'm a senior, so my last build season has come to a close

Following Layla out was a very emotional time for all of us

As we were closing up the crate, we started discussing the fact that this may be the last year for this crate and we'll build a new one next year. As we started talking about it, I looked at our wonderful student leader and her face had the look of, 'omg, I'm a Senior...' - the beginning of many happy sad moments throughout the rest of the '08 season for our Seniors.

It doesn't have to be your last. Come back as a mentor!

Maybe I'll get it done by the regional.

yes...it's like goodbye Sasha, goodbye! (we named our robot Bruce, his nickname is Sasha) lol

Not really depressed but pumped for the upcomming competitions. Can't wait.

haha for me, it is a time for mixed emotions. I am relieved that it is done, but sad because it was so much fun building it. I got to become friends with people I probably would not have otherwise. However, I get PUMPED and impatient for the competition.

I'd have to say I feel the same way. Our robot is almost completely done mechanically (I think we're getting a lighter chain, thats it). All that is left is for the programmers to work out a few bugs.

Oh and the mentor from Oconomowoc told the FedEx guy that we were supposed to ship to Chicago o.o It was actually pretty funny.

*tear* I wanted to give it a speech, but...I forgot. At this moment, my robot is being exposed to danger robots and wild women! XD
