Re: How are you spending your last day?

Our Fabrication team is spending the last 7 hours of the 23rd to make adjustments as everyone else does their various duties and learn how to dance.

Begging, yelling, kicking, and screaming for members of my team to send me updates while I'm at college not doing homework.

Reassembling our electronics (), building a new arm, and drive practice. Probably right up until midnight.

Replacing all the bolts that fell out at our Week 0 and driver practice, provided we can find a large enough carpeted area nearby.

Re: How are you spending your last day?

Stressing out on why the firstinspires website never works!
Stressing out why our airbill for our week 1 event is to the wrong location, after correcting them twice. Our robot pickup is tomorrow morning.

Stressing over the abusive nature of the defenses and how we are going to keep our robot together for 50-75 matches this season.

Re: How are you spending your last day?

This afternoon/evening, staying at home getting tornado warnings on the cell phone.

We put a few things on and took a few things off this morning and bagged around noon so everyone could get home before the weather did. Bumper mounts, coping, and removable ballast went on or at least had mount holes drilled; key parts of the boulder pickup and launcher came off for inclusion in the withholding allowance. We also tweaked some labels, added a Cheval Excluder Device to a gap between our belly pans, and tossed in a few spare treads for our primary wheels. We did a few bench tests, but no drive tests today so we could get home safely.

Did you guys request an extra day like we did? Our entire school was shutdown yesterday and we weren't allowed to come in, so first granted us a one day extension.

Put in the RSL, tidied up the wiring, took off our withholding allowance items, bagged, and had snacks. Oh, and a group was working to finish the practice bot.

Re: How are you spending your last day?

We made some beefy bumper mounts. Tweaked a couple of things. Drove the robot around and took some pictures. We were ready to bag weeks ago which is crazy being last year we never had a working robot.
