Re: It's almost that time of year again SHIP DATE!!!!

We're behind, moreso than usual.

Fabrication is almost, but still not, done. Electrical/programming haven't even gotten their hands on it yet and the robot still hasn't been tested. And we're packing it up on Saturday due to the long weekend we have.

Yay?

Yeah, back when I was the head engineer of 1766 the welders and machinists always wanted more time, insisted that they couldn't meet my deadline, and overall insisted I was unreasonable. However, they always met my goals. If I hadn't pushed them, the electronics wouldn't have gotten a turn. Yes, I might have pushed them a bit far, but to be honest, it prepared them for the real world of their field. The engineer will always want it yesterday and he has to settle for tomorrow.
