Team 125 Needs Help - ATTENTION ARIZONA REGIONAL TEAMS!

[Brandon Holley]

I turn to chiefdelphi in a time of slight crisis on team 125. Here is a brief recap of what is going on:

Due to a shipping mishap our robot is still in boston.... We are competing at the arizona regional which happens to start thursday. Our team is leaving tomorrow at 2 pm to start our journey to Phoenix...

We have talked to fedex and we have arranged for the robot to be OVERNIGHTED to the arizona regional. The robot will not leave until tomorrow so it gives it less than 24 hours to make its way from boston to phoenix.

The problem is everything needs to go right for the robot to have a chance at making it to the regional on thursday. Theres a solid chance the robot will not make it to the regional until thursday night, or even some time on friday.

With all of this we are trying to make sure we have our plan Bs and Cs in order in case something were to not go our way. Were asking if your team has any extra materials, kit bot frames, wheels, motors, electronics, batteries you name it and you could bring them along with your supplies we would greatly appreciate it.

We also ran into another problem involving the lack of ability to bring batteries with us on the plane. We have 1 battery in the crate i believe, however as most of you know this does not go very far. We also have no means of bringing a cart over to arizona so if your team has anything that rolls we would greatly appreciate it if you could help us out and bring that with you.

If you would like to contact me directly you can email me at anytime at **mortgeek[AT]gmail[DOT]com**. We leave boston at 4:50 pm eastern time and arrive in arizona at 10:40 pm mountain time.

Thank you to everyone in advance for anything you can provide. We really appreciate it and we hope that the robot we worked so hard on actually shows up...
