Robots gone.. Now what?

[Arkorobotics]

Robot is gone now, shipped and we wont see it for another 30 days . What are you (or your team) going to do now?

Dodgeball with poof balls?
Replacement parts?
Get sleep?
Even Hibernate?

[Koko Ed]

Time for FANTASY FIRST!!!

Robot gone? Now time to make a second one. The fun starts all over again.

[KenWittlief]

First comes denial

then anger

then bargaining...

same here, so the drivers and human element can practice more, and we're making bets on what our robot actually weighs, plus cleaning the shop, promoting our bot, and packing stuff for the comp, last year as rookies the team pretty much brought the shop with them, this year, what we bring is more practical, and I think the only other thing we're doing is making autonomous codes and coming up with game strategies.

when we our bot got picked up today we tried to ask if we can open it and say our last good-byes and quite possibly stuff one of our team members just to make sure the bot will be safe.

we're making a list of stuff we need to do as soon as we get are robot unloaded when we get to UCF were also trying to make stuff that stands out differently from teams

For me... now is the time to catch up on some missed sleep, catch up on some school work, and maybe get ahead on some school work before regionals.

[Katie Reynolds]

Sleep ... more importantly, studying.

[Billfred]

The team will put together Circumstance, our practice robot, and proceed to beat the stuffings out of it to figure out what'll need fixing at Palmetto. We'll also hopefully create a pit space (a first for us) and do all those other pesky things we neglected to do during build.

Personally, I'll be catching up on my rest (I've done well when it comes to schoolwork during build) and commencing work on a research project I've been working on for Preston College, my dorm residence hall residential learning community residential college, involving robotics. Fwahaahaa.

[Éowyn]

Boredom sets in until the regional. On the bright side, I've got some plans for how to machine a lightsaber...

[Steve S.]

well, we'll meet to discuss strategy, make parts (spares, maybe into another bot) and a few other things need work like finding a driver using last years bot. Still meetings daily.........tooooooooooooooo much

Gee that's funny. I didn't know you were staying at my house, Mike
I got a chance to see my oldest son's karate class for the first time this winter tonight. After that I'm going to sleep, going to pay a little more attention to my actual job, maybe even notice when the sun goes up and down.

I know going straight home from work today passing the school and there was still daylight, it felt kinda weird

So that's why you're never busy when I come into your class in the middle of the day.

Now that the robot is finished, its time to go back into the real world... Not sure if I want to go back though...
