Re: A couple questions that may be too late.

man....i thought after the build deadline it would get easier....today we got a call from fedex....here's something how it goes

Fedex (F): We lost your shipment....what does it look like?
US: It's a 4ft x 4ft x 5'6" plywood crate spraypainted blue with the number 2574 painted on it.
F: And what would you estimate it's value at (thats when we start worryin)
US: Ohhh....about $10,000
F: oh..........okay (now whats goin on). And what would it look like if it was broken open?
US: Well.....theres a lot of robotics stuff. And it has a lot of steel arms and a controller platform on plexiglass and steel. And some motors and stuff.
F: Okay we'll let you know the status of your shipment......(that phone call went nicely)

don't worry...they called back later and found it
