happy? I just spent four hours shovelling happiness off my driveway

Shoveling/Plowing has replaced building a robot for now...but that will be reversed soon enough

Wow, just got word our school is closed tomorrow!!! Good thing our base and launcher are off site. I hope the team can get some work done with the gift of some off time. I will keep making buttons, until we can get back to work on the shipping crate, We will make it with only one week to go !!!

We have a delayed opening tomorrow...lets hope schools don't close as we really need to work on our robot!

Gosh that's too bad. Weather took a turn for the worse here as well. After two days of + 70's, the temperature plunged to a daytime high of 69, and mostly sunny. Really brutal. The fruit trees are starting to blossom. Our team continued to build field elements outside, but it is hard to fight spring fever and a high pollen count . Well later, gotta catch some rays outside.

For once Rochester is missing out on all of the "fun".

[Chuck Glick]

the unofficial snowfall count at my house is 14 inches!!!! lucky for us our robot is D-O-N-E, that is if you forget about autonomus.

Hey well here in Suffield, CT we have 16inches of snow an its still comming down. Unfortunatly i dont think we will be able to go to our shop today. The roads are very bad. an the worst part is shows no sign of stopping anytime soon!

[mechanicalbrain]

We have 8 inches here. It knocked us out today and probably tomorrow, we are at a point where his could hurt us bad. A couple kids took a bunch of the parts home to work on them. I'm going to build our electrical box at my house! Overall this really couldn't have come at a worse time.

Your blizzard is 8 days too early. It would be better if it delayed ship date like a few years back

We'll do our best to pick up the slack by delaying ship date with an earthquake.

We've got plenty of snow here in Leominster, MA. I'm in shorts and a robotics tshirt, so i'm not going to measure it, but the bed of my truck is well past full...if that helps. I'll ty to get a guesstimate before i leave for work.

I don't think it will affect building too much....all we have left is a minor motor problem...we need to pull the gearboxes and fix it...easy enough.


stupid snow.....2wd pickup + too much snow = big ol' mess.

We've got somewhere between 12 and 14 inches of snow, but that isn't stopping our team. Most of us didn't head home until almost midnight last night, and there was only an inch or two on the ground then. And we're still meeting today at noon. Time to start shoveling
