Exclamation Stop Build Day Question Many people have read the official rules again and again and

Please excuse a redundant question from a second year team. There has been much debate among our team members about when exactly stop build day is.

Some members say it is 11:59 pm on Monday night heading in to Tuesday allowing for a minute leeway to midnight.

Other members are saying we have until 11:59 pm Tuesday night heading in to Wednesday allowing for a minute leeway to midnight.

So which is it? Can we work Tuesday or not?

Thanks!

Re: Stop Build Day Question Many people have read the official rules again and again

Quote:
5.1 STOP BUILD DAY
All teams must cease work on their robot on or before Stop Build Day. Any team that fails to comply may jeopardize their participation in the rest of the FRC season.


Note that “Stop Build Day” is a specific date, so you may work on your robot until midnight on that date in whatever time zone you are working.

STOP BUILD DAY is TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2013
The emphasis is mine. You need to have it locked up by 11:59:59 PM on Tuesday.

Also don't forget that this rule, unlike other FIRST deadlines, is in your local time.

Re: Stop Build Day Question Many people have read the official rules again and again

Note that “Stop Build Day” is a specific date, so you may work on your robot until midnight on that date in whatever time zone you are working.

Technically, this means that teams have to stop working at the very beginning of Stop Build Day. Midnight, i.e. 12:00:00 AM, is the very first second of a new day, not the last one. However, others have said and I agree that the common interpretation is that you can work all throughout the day. Some might take this as "rules lawyering", but I hope that FIRST will fix/clarify this at some point, or else teams that read into the rules a little too much might lose a day...

Re: Stop Build Day Question Many people have read the official rules again and again

We work Tuesdays. Monday night seems like a weird time to put the deadline.

Re: Stop Build Day Question Many people have read the official rules again and again

When the Fed-Ex truck showed up early Tuesday morning to pick up your crated robot, it kind of made sense to stop working and get it in the crate Monday night. If your robot wasn't crated and ready when they got there, they left without it and you didn't compete.

We, team 2838, were wondering this question too. We e-mailed our regional manager (we are in Missouri), and he said that we have until 11:59.59 on Tuesday to finish building. I hope this helps people
