Re: All dressed up and nothing to mount...yet.

We are also a NASA grant team this year, but sadly, we are still awaiting delivery. We haven't even gotten any shipping info yet.

Re: All dressed up and nothing to mount...yet.

I got an e-mail from FIRST that said that shipment is made based upon when payment was made.

Still waiting, but we paid late.....

Nah, we're just up the street from 1771, like literally, 10 minutes. And we got ours like a week ago.

Re: All dressed up and nothing to mount...yet.

Still haven't heard anything .I think the ship schedule has to do with when each team paid.
What I wonder now is: when will they ship the last system? I read that there are approximately 1,200 teams signed up for early shipment. They started showing up around Nov. 18, so I would guess they started shipping around Nov. 11. It would be silly to ship after about Dec. 12 or 15, because the systems would be showing up at schools that are closed for the holidays. That means they have a total of about 25 shipping days. That would require them to ship about 48 systems a day. This seems doable. I really hope the system doesn't show up at the last possible moment, that won't be much improvement over waiting for kickoff, but it cost a lot more . Does anyone see a flaw in my logic?

I hope we get it soon. I really want to come by over break and look at it and see what our programmers have it doing

Re: All dressed up and nothing to mount...yet.

I believe they said early shipments ended December 5th. So, I guess if you don't get it rather soon, you're not getting it early.

I hope that's not the case, as that means teams that were "qualified" to get one early and didn't are now at a disadvantage.

Re: All dressed up and nothing to mount...yet.

1771, I would check with FIRST, cause I think that the teams have received most of the sytems and if you don't have it now, then it might not be coming.

If you guys want to play around with it or have a look at it, PM me or something and we can set something up. Our programmer is having a blast with this, he's a tad bit too excited.

Let me know if you want to check it out. It's currently hooked up to our 08 robot.

I checked into that. Dec. 5 was the last day to apply for early shipment. Shipments are continuing. We have been assured by First that we are good to go. I think the school delayed in sending the check, so we may be one of the last to get one.
