What are you going to do with your two extra days

groves · February 17, 2003, 12:11pm

We are going to redesign the entire robot drivetrain up.

Rob_Colatutto · February 17, 2003, 12:15pm

hmm…i’d say were going to do the work we can’;t do today, and 2 other days that we missed because of snow and our school closing

JasonStern · February 17, 2003, 12:21pm

autonomus code!!! need I say more?

yea…I’d have to agree with that. We have been under house arrest since sunday morning…Delaware declared a state of emergency, meaning that only state emergency vehicles can be on the road. If your caught, you get a nice $1000 fine. So, we haven’t been able do anything the last two days, and who knows about tomorrow.

Heh our school hd one custodian here, and he just left, we’ve been here 24 hours now, thankfully our school doesn’t have much to do with us so they let us stay here, well not so much they let us… they just don’t reallly know…

SNOW IS FUN!!!

So with our two extra days we’re going to get the tweak the programming!! and oh yeah finish the robot hehe maybe even get some practice time! Unfortunatly the time I had planned for other things… but the snow probablystopped those plans anyway

Yay for snow!!! :]

Is there something I haven’t seen yet about this?

20ish inches of snow is fun

Joe_Matt · February 17, 2003, 1:20pm

Test & Adjust for our features. Needless to say, we will have fun playing around on the ramp for the next 2 days.

Do you work at school? Our principle won’t let us go in to work if the school is closed, and we are panicking trying to find somewhere else to finish our crate (and robot) :ahh:

sanddrag · February 17, 2003, 1:30pm

FIRST of all, let me say that this is MONUMENTAL! I thank FIRST for making this wise desicion to counter-act mother nature.

For this problem, does anyone have a clean garage with a few tools?

Josh_Fritsch · February 17, 2003, 1:38pm

WAHOO 2 extra days! now we may actually finish it before ship…lol and maybe even a day of drive practice

Aaron · February 17, 2003, 1:38pm

I am so glad we have an extension, because last night we still thought we needed to make a crate and finish our scissor jack in a day.:ahh: talk about a lucky break. Our only problem is getting out of the HS because the drifts are building up. We’ve been using tape every hour to measure the snow and right now there is a 34 inch drift out side our door (and we needed that door because its the only one not on the alarm)!:ahh:

Yeah, we’re at school. We’re just chillin here working on it.

mav · February 17, 2003, 1:40pm

finish automomus mode programs that were good but still need a lot of work to be great like we hope

OneAngryDaisy · February 17, 2003, 1:42pm

At least you can drive

The snow’s so high here you couldn’t even drive if you had a monster 4WD truck…

Ken_Leung · February 17, 2003, 1:43pm

This is a perfect example that FIRST IS willing to listen to teams. I hope all of you remember this when time comes when you have doubts about FIRST’s ability to listen to team’s situation and making important changes for the teams.

ECarlson · February 17, 2003, 1:44pm

Dig out our cars. They’re unrecognizeable white lumps under that huge pile of snow and ice, so first we’ll have to figure out which ones are ours.

We might not be able to get into the school until at least Thursday. Our robot is being worked on by a bunch of students in Dave Lavery’s garage, but our crate is still stuck in our school shop.

Koko_Ed · February 17, 2003, 1:45pm

Any chance that generosity extends to the animation?

Katie_Reynolds · February 17, 2003, 1:55pm

Awesome. We can finish assembling our transmission (and test it! What a novel idea! ;)), tweak our programming and clean up some of our wiring. Oh! We can mkae our side panels look pretty too!

We can finish. Thankfully.

Not today, though. The four foot tall snow drifts against my car make that impossible. The lack of plowed roads make it dangerous.
