So who's up late tonight?

[Coop]

we stayed all night on team 1717. and slept in the classroom next door to the robot room(converted physics classroom). some people are still running on an all nighter. were grinding it. only about a half a pond to a pound overweight.

We don't have that luxury. Bedford sucks. But anyway, we barely finished ours, and we're hoping that we get some extended time to work on it during competition time before our first match.

[Aratarin]

We think that we're doing pretty good. We're just finishing up a few last problems. We're also giving our operators as much practice to compete. then we're going to pack the robot for shipping and get ready. Good luck all!

[EOC]

We are all done, the bot is ready for pickup.

[chinckley]

We are!!!
Team 1254 is here doing finishing touches like softening edges that will touch the carpet. We worked 14 hours Sunday, 12 Saturday.

We have limits from the school on hours we can work.
Tonight until 11 pm and it will be in the box by then.

Pickup scheduled for between 10 and 4 pm Tuesday.
Then we are on to the rest of the jobs - sorting parts to take, banner upgrades, buttons, trading cards, awards to take, and a multitude of other jobs to do.

Good luck everyone on finishing tonight.

See some of you at GLR and Detroit.

Team 753 just started tonight (All other pics were phoney)

In all seriousness, we're "finishing" up our robot, we just to fix the grabber, fix the lift, and possibly add the carbon-fiber panels...

Team 95 is currently pulling an late-nighter. Driven mode is working beautifully, and we're practicing ramp climbing and tweaking autonomous to try and improve reliability (we're batting 500 right now, with no camera ).

At some point we'll pack it in for the night and call it good.

well friday night we pulled an all nighter to try and get ready for saturdays scrimmage. We weren't ready but went with our bot anyways.
Sunday I was at tech till 11:30 something and had to go home becuase I just applied for my new liscense and still have a legal cerfuw. Today I was there till like 11:40. And we just found out we are pretty over weight. And we have to ship tomorrow at 6 pm.
We were hoping to make this year the first year that the bot was ready by the first regional. It is looking a little slim now but I still have quite a bit of hope. Luckily we have no school tomorrow. It is lik teh school board knows or something lol

We closed the crate (with a finished robot) at 10 PM. A first for us in a few years.

It's a strange feeling not having to make a list of what "ABSOLUTELY" needs to be done at the regional and making a "would be nice... if we felt like getting around to it" list instead.

YARLY. Sometimes the list of things that "would be nice" is a little long though

Well I see 340 and 424 have been up all night long working.
They're on 13 Wham News Morning show after doing so.

[Donut]

Nope, our robot ships out at about 3 or 4 PM today, so whatever we have done as of this afternoon is it for us.

I wish we did have until Tuesday to work on it, but we make sure it gets to our shipping handlers early to ensure there's no last minute problems such as "the robot won't fit in the crate!!?!?"

Just be sure to wake them up before they go-go.

We would have been had we found a female chaparone, we were going to stay up all night...back to work this morning though!

1281 will be adding the gripper and probably mostly testing... if we have time we will try and find a way to add 20 lbs to the robot. I thing we are at around 97 lbs now, and our robot is under 4ft.
