Who is completely ready for their robot shipment tomorrow?
We sure aren’t…
yup,
Now if Sheppard emails the paperwork :mad:
The janitors wanted to close the school today at 2:00 so we had to be crated by then, we made it and are completely done however we had very little time to test our new hybrid code after we scrimaged on Saturday.
not just who is ready for ship tomorrow, but how much initial work does your team need with the 'bot to get it in ‘game shape’
We are completely ready for the ship… still some minor work to be done though at the comp =)
Actually, Sheppard won’t email you the paper work…your suppose to have a Bill of Lading in the Kit of Parts.
Heh, if only it was that easy for my team. Late shipment of parts, “new management”, limited workspace and time and a list of 10 major things that need to be finished. If you looked at us, you wouldn’t believe that we’ve been doing first for a bit of time 
but we’ll be finished by ship 
Wish us luck
our pistons don’t work right now… the spikes won’t cooperate, and it doesn’t help that our electronics board broke and we have to use a borrowed 2006 board on our bot. also, we haven’t done any autonomous work at all… not to mention that we didn’t get an accelerometer, gear tooth sensor, or gryo boards!!! PLUS, WE HAVE 13 HOURS TILL FED EX!!!:ahh: :ahh: :ahh: :ahh: :ahh:
as of 5 pm today it was boxed up and we are done…
We had to be out of our “space” by 6pm. we were crated and ready to go, after doing much testing on an improved robot. We had some major overhauling to do after the Suffield Shakedown (many parts to repair)
One mentor found a piece of our robot as he was walking out of the building (fell off in transit) luckily he knew it looked familiar.
I am amazed at what our students were able to accomplish over the not only the last 6 weeks but the last TWO days!!! GREAT JOB!!!
we already crated it!!!
We crated up at about 8pm on Sunday night.
We have some autonomous testing to do at VCU, and some minor parts installation mostly centering around graphics, component shielding, and the like.
Ours was crated Saturday evening after a day of play at Team 931’s field.
FedEx picked it up around 5 today.
We got our robot finished and crated up today, and it’s in our school’s loading dock ready to be picked up and shipped tomorrow. We got everything working, for the most part, but our IR board was messed up, so we need to debug that when we get to our first competition on the seventh… wish us luck.
We had to crate up by noon time, everything made its way in and was sealed by a little after 12:00 to make it to the Drayage center in San Diego on time.
we aren’t either but we will play the game “see how quickly we can crate the robot and drive it to drayage without it falling out of the back of the truck”
For the first time in team 987 history we have crated the bot’ up the day before it has to ship…
-Keaton
Our robot was ready for ship like 3 days ago. But you know we had to get some drive time in before we shipped.
Team 540’s is ready, and VCU’s in for a surprise!
So, I think all the hardware on the robot is done… which is good. Somehow that always happens, but then on my side, the electronics/software, gets pushed all the way off until its too late!
We need to finish the OI at St. Louis, and we need to hook all of our sensors up and program our hybrid modes there too. Meh.
