I know....but there are those pesky rules....

And getting students to work on stuff before it's actually needed, is a challenge that sometimes gets the better of me.

Re: It's ship date! Is YOUR robot ready?
About an hour before the robot got put in the crate, the gate latch worked and the kicker fired multiple precharge shots at any PSI. A hanging arm was also close enough to get fixed in 8 hours at the event, after adjusting it to not cause rampant safety violations with opening speed. Posession is to be determined. I guess we're alright in terms of done-ness.
