Championship Uncrating

[Brandon Holley]

Elgin,
Im going to agree with you that the uncrating time is optional, but lets be real here, you want as much as you can get thursday morning to make your adjustments/fix the robot that was destroyed at its last regional. I think where they have it now is a fine time, but I still see problems with people being able to make it then. Moving it earlier, if only for the purpose of making it earlier, does not make sense to me.

We have a lot of problems (as im sure many teams do) with getting the kids out of school for 2 days as it is. We try to cut back on as much missed school as possible. This means we cannot leave boston until after school on wednesday, and with waiting for chaperones, it brings us to about 5 or 6 oclock meeting time at the airport....add on a flight with 1 layover usually and theres no chance we'd make it at all. I'm sure this is the case for a lot of teams.

Regardless of the outcome, were not going to be there early enough, but it seems to me like you should give as many teams a chance as possible to take advantage of the early uncrate.


I'll also go ahead and agree that the drivers meetings have been filled with "dumb questions" in the past (everyone I've been to since 2002)...but I mean, they do tend to entertain.
