That's...simply...amazing. If only we had that last-minute drive everyday....We could have built 50 designs and tested them against each other to see which is best.

Looks like were in the same boat as your team. we have to build all our mechanisms tomorrow as well. It sucks though cause we can only stay at school till like 8:00. oh dear......

You're not the only one.. we still gotta get 3 mechanisms attached.. decided to trash our sub drive system three days ago and drastically modded several other mechanisms.. been staying until 12:00 every night for a week and a half now

and oh yeah, good luck- we'll see you at chesapeake.. then philly.. and oh yeah, then atlanta

chesapeake is our test bed. I have a feeling there will be alot of modifying there. 4 grand for 3 extra days of build time. lol. Then off to philly do defend our title.

neat...so we're NOT the only team that has to build in one day. we've also had the drive done and mobile but NONE of our systems are fully functinal. ones in the making and the others are being placed as im typing.

I feel the pain.

We are finished (well sorta)

Drive Train has been working since week 3. (design,manufacture, build)
Mechanisms - x3 in place an tested

The build works well when you divide your team into sub teams to work on specific tasks/devices you want to accomplish.

like...
Drive Train
Mech 1
Mech 2
Mech 3
Electrical
Programming
