As I recall, FIRST only extended the deadline due to the fact that *shipping* for the teams that were in the storm areas would be all but impossible.

I think they added on 2 or so days to certain teams that were nailed by the snow.. down in VA, we havent had school Thurs or Fri, but the 'skeleton' crew got together both days, but weve been forbidden to get together this weekend.. but even if were out monday, robotics must go on.. wether the school supports it or not!

nya... we're so behind right now, we don't even have our ideas on paper... we needed today, but West Ottawa cancelled everything, I mean we are practically snowed in. *cries* We'll never get our robot done if this snow keeps bombarding us like it is...

I'm also on a Richmond team, and we weren't allowed to meet today and probably tomorrow due to a inch or so of icy mush. GRRRRRRR so frustrating. Anyhoo, I and a teammate took some stuff to my house to work on. But this kind of precipitation is no fun, could y'all up north Fed-Ex us some powder? Now I'm stuck with doing doughnuts on the ice in the school parking lot for fun.

The School cancelled all after school activities for Friday and the weekend. So we are just doing some planning at home until Monday...

Like sand storms but it melts.

We're still meeting as scheduled, but we're prepared to cut out early if the snow gets to be too much. I don't think it's actually started yet... So we'll see!
Of course, this is NH.. we're used to it!

[silliewillie]

we don't meet on the weekends anyway... so it's not too big of an issue for us. still working on stuff like programming at home though.

It started pretty early here this morning, before 10 I think. We started to get "booted out" of the shop around 2 or so. A few went down to our playing field building at the other end of town, before heading home. I quickly decided against it when I had to put the Jeep in 4wd to get up a street in town. Oh well, ride out the storm, stay safe everyone.

Our team decided to take today and Sunday off because of the storm........We got quit a bit of snow here. However 2 out of the 3 people in the software crew worked today........but that was because the lived really close, and software takes a lot of time.

Well, as bad is the weather is in Idaho Falls, I would have to say that we are enjoying the sunshine and snowmobiles. But I would really love a storm to stop by and give us a little white-out.

Today the Delaware FIRST Lego league tournament had to be shortened to about 12:30 instead of ending at 4 or 5 like it was going to. the schedule got messed "buggerd" up a bit according to one adult. The day was cut short because about 5-10 teams didn't show because of fear of snow and it started to come down at about 9am ish and hasn't stopped yet. also I'm sure the MOE meeting tomorrow will be delayed or canceled. but i hope not. I hope anyone in the storm will drive safe and be smart on the road.

I would be absolutely thrilled if I looked out my window and saw snow...
We're literally melting down here, which, if you think about it, also slows us down...because I guess heat brings out the laziness in all of us ...

Although our chances of going out this weekend are very slim, our web dsign team is still going to strive to get together somewhere and work on our site. Hopefully Monday will be a bit more cleared up so we can continue our hard work on this years robot.
