ALERT! Championship Pits fully open Wednesday

[Kevin Sevcik]

Checking out the Schedule I noticed that Pits AND the Machine Shop are open Weds starting at 5. Which implies that robots can be worked on. I've just started the question through the mill, but I've gotten a preliminary answer back through my Regional Director. (Thanks mom!)

To wit, YES pits fully open to 5 team reps on Weds, and you CAN work on your robot.

So they're not just taunting us with an open machine shop. I know this could serious affect travel plans, so I'm hoping it gets through the official channels quickly. I'd atleast hold off on travel plans until there officially official word. Or just book and plan on showing up at 5, and if you can't work on the bot, there's all those nifty workshops to attend...

This was covered in Bill's Blog. Removing the "tentative" part would be nice.

Oh, hey. Forgot about that post. Still, it would be nice to get everything official and update At The Events to reflect 5, not 3, team reps and whether working on the robot is allowed. I have some confidence that will happen soon, now that everyone's been reminded about it.

The Public Agenda says "FRC pits open to 5 Team reps". I would sure like to start inspections then!

Are there tapping kits or the ability to tap holes at the machine shop

[Rosiebotboss]

YES!

Get in and get your inspections done!!! The earlier the better. Qual matches START THURSDAY @ 1300.
