Have robots been shipped from Atlanta yet?

FIRST General Forum

Hi,
Just checking when they will be sent home. We punched in our FedEx tracking no. but nothing showed up yet. Has anyone received their robots yet.
We have a huge school community demonstration next week Wed. and are worried about it getting home in time for it.

Thanks.

Cory told me last night that their robot was already in Florida; they had intended to send it there. :slight_smile:

Also, it was nice to meet you. I apologize for being a lump; I’ve been pretty sick and wanted nothing more than to curl up into a ball and sleep.

I am sure since it is free that there will be many shipments based upon available space in a truck going a particular way.

You should not worry unless it is still not shipped in say two weeks.

See you next year in Atlanta!:smiley:

Checked our shipment this morning. FedEx picked it up in Atlanta 4/23, expected arrival is 4/29 in Seattle. Like you, we have a presentation at the school and to several local clubs and organizations who support us.

We’re in the same situation, got a school event this coming Monday that we would like to have our bot for (though it isn’t essential). In the past, we’ve typically gotten our robots back within the week after Championships, but you never know any more. :rolleyes:

#9

We’re 20 miles north of Atlanta and our bot still isn’t back. Usually we get it within a few days. Must be buried in the back of the warehouse.

#10

we’re like a little bit further away and we still haven’t gotten ours.

#11

Have all of you checked online with fedex to see if your bot is in transit?
Ours doesnt even show up, which I suspect, hasnt even been sent yet from Shepard to the FedEx facility.:frowning:

#12

i was wondering how their robot arrived at the shop already but we haven’t seen the pink one yet

#13

Ms. P,
Cory’s robot actually went to the wrong place. Its supposed to be headed to Waialua High School in Hawaii for R&D inspection…:stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

#14

We checked our robot as luggage – what’s wrong with all of you?

#15

must be a small racerbot.:stuck_out_tongue:

#16

Pretty sure Rick is talking about Vex.

#17

Yeah. He’s FTC.

Never hurts to check the program indicator in the profile.

I think my team’s two CMP teams are back with robots by now. Then again, Lego and Vex robots are a lot easier to transport than an FRC robot.

#18

You got that right, just take the arm off and tuck it into a plastic box. I was happy to see in Portland that my old FRC team is still using the crate I built four years ago. Immortality through transportation modules!

So, what are 233, 254, and Steve K up to… hmmm…

#20

Oh, no!

Now the dreaded “Pinky Poofs” collaboration emerges…:ahh:
