Re: Lost 1/6th of build season...

We have had a surprisingly light winter here this year (I can almost hear Murphy coming along with his snow clouds because I said that). There is really not much a school based team can do when school has been called off, except make sure team members have something they can do at their house to contribute to the team, without needing to have a meeting.

Good luck to all the teams having trouble meeting because of the weather. (and everyone else of course)

Re: Lost 1/6th of build season...

There is a reason we named our team "The Arctic Warriors". We LIVE in blizzard conditions all Robotics season long.

in 2006, on the second to last day of build season our school's power cells were demonished by 81 mph winds. We worked in a school without heat on ship day and were working on it as we took it to the dock to be shipped. So cold.

Today was a mere dusting of 6 inches of snow.

Re: Lost 1/6th of build season...

I mean, we're in the same situation here in Marietta, GA. Since Week 1 for us is all strategy, brainstorming, and design, on-line collaboration has really worked out well for us, and we're ready to go finish design come Friday afternoon.

Re: Lost 1/6th of build season...

We in Seattle have had similar issues in years past( not much of one tho). We all just got here. Simple as that. Walk, car, Bus, Train, Spaceship, you name it. We just made it, and that made the fact that everybody had worked so much harder to get their that we all were much more about our work. So yeah my advise is just to get their, do it, it will feel so much more rewarding at the end of the day.

This is true.

The closest I have seen to a plow in my area, is a pickup truck with a piece of curved plastic on the front.
