Re: So Its Ship Date

We were driving and scoring with the (half prototype) robot by week 4, but we were still building the final robot an hour before it went in the crate. Programming was ongoing all during build, and we have some autonomous code doing what we think it needs to do. The robot is complete. We have a lot of other stuff to do besides FRC for the next couple weeks, since most of the FRC team is also on two FTC teams, and the regional for that is less than two weeks away. So we'll open up the box at our first regional and do what needs to be done...hopefully that involves learning how to drive with 5 other robots on the field, and some program tweaking.

Our scale has always been within a tenth of a pound of the official scale, so our weight being 118.9 is probably going to be ok...

Re: So Its Ship Date

Kilroy did pretty good this year; for the first time in a while, we have nothing major to change on the robot when we get to competitions.

Re: So Its Ship Date

The crate was picked up at 2:30 today.
Robot weight: 117 lbs
Total crate weight: 389 lbs.

We had a mix-up when Fed-Ex arrived, (shipping manager called called fed-ed express instead of freight because that is who he uses) and our stickers were mixed up on the BOL paperwork, but all was good in the end. The Fed-Ex driver has been picking up FIRST teams' crates in this area for years. He exemplified GP to us and we are grateful to Fed-Ex. Thanks Rudy!

It's a little late now, but the stickers need to match the number at the top left of the BOL.

Here are a few links to how 1523 spent their 6 weeks. Enjoy!
