Lost 1/6th of build season...

[Whateveryousay]

Hi Team 1771,

I am the captain of Team 1683, We are in JohnsCreek, Fulton County, GA. We have been missing works day as well, i really hope we will have school on friday so we can get started.

We've basically lost a build week. Unfortunately, team 1795 didn't setup reliable electronic communication ahead of time..

This is day 5, and you've already lost 7.5 days? (45 day build season / 6)

It's much better that you lose time now, at the beginning of the season, when it can be made up.

Team 811 loses 1/6 of Build Season every year: Semester finals are during the second or third week, and school rules forbid the students from doing anything extracurricular.

A little snow doesn't bother us.

expected delays is one thing but when we dont know its coming...its hard to communicated with a team when its unforeseen. plus...more if this is expected. I guess we are going to have to get stuck at school before the storm hits

Perfect excuse to stock up on Dew!

Glad I'm up here in warm, sunny Canada! (What? No smiley with toque on it?)

Actually we had snow here in Vancouver today, too, but it is melting now.

As for how to keep yourself busy when the school is closed, I don't think we ever built anything other than some field elements and crude mock ups in our first week.

If you spend the time researching how teams built tube grabbers for Rack'n'Roll and then model up a couple ideas in inventor (which you now have ALL DAY to work on) you might actually come out ahead.
