Re: Survey - When do you expect to have your robot complete?
 

so, i think my team has to be put into a slightly different category as far as when we are finished. Our team was not able to start until 1 week into the build season due to school starting dates. We are completely done fabrication, except for a few minor tweeks. (*crap, i just remembered something we didn't have*) Oh well. Anyway, the team has just finally turned the (mostly) completed bot over to the autonomous, and controls team. We are in the process of picking drivers, who will probably get no more than 10 minutes of drive train on the finished bot before shipping. No worries, we have last year's bot for them to practice on. Anyway, it's half way through week 6 and we're almost there (though that's really week 5 for us ;)) Well good luck teams, and hopefully we will all be able to compete at our best!

this is gonna be our 4th year like this, not finshing the robot week a head before the shipping date. Our driver won't get too much pratice drive now. i guessing monday afternooon. dam our school janitors, why can't they be more kindaful and let us stay their longer in school like until 8 or 9 pm night on a starurday.:( we had to leafve at like 2:30 pm.

we just finneshed fixing all the problems we found at the scrimmage. looks good for 2 more days of autonimous testing and driver practice.

Re: Survey - When do you expect to have your robot complete?
 

Oh right, a robot, I knew my team should have done something over the last six weeks.

Just kidding, we are not quite done and there is only one day left, we still have some problems, and it is not fully assembled or welded yet, but whatever we do not finish we can just fix during the competitions. I am a little more worried than I was last year though, but I know we can finish

Little bit of last minute tweaking likely, but our build's finished

Re: Survey - When do you expect to have your robot complete?
 

Well I though this year was going to be different and we were going to be done early, well i guessed wrong. Today our meeting starts at 9:am and ends when the robot and tools are in their crates. I think it will be a long long long long day.And I have a feeling the pizza place will have to make a few deliveries, and the gas station across the street will be busy throughout the day

Re: Survey - When do you expect to have your robot complete?
 

Robot's done, human controlled controls are completely debugged and working (right... ;)), and autonomous scripting is working. I'm going in today to fine tune autonomous and fix any "programming problems," such as motor failure, which occure while the drivers are practicing, but other than that...

Yeah! Last day and we're done! :D:D:D:D

Re: Survey - When do you expect to have your robot complete?
 

Week 4 (I really don't know; lost track of time and reality a while ago): DONE PROGRAMMING. :cool:

Re: Survey - When do you expect to have your robot complete?
 

we finished earlier tonight but we still need to let the drivers practice.

Re: Survey - When do you expect to have your robot complete?
 

wow this topic is nearly 3 years old...

our robot is done, we just have to build the twin final versions.

Re: Survey - When do you expect to have your robot complete?
 

We have been driving for a week, remote control hybrid is awesome. First mechanism went on last saturday, second mechanism is going on this week. We are having a second chassis constructed to allow for changes made while putting together the first robot. Locations etc. were modified and the new chassis will have supports exactly where needed. The programers have a bag full of additional sensors they want mounted. We will swap everything over when the new chassis is done. I checked, at the first regional. I wish I could have said at the Championship. There are always little improvements that can be done right up to the time we crate up the robot to go back home. Still have to decorate and finish the bumpers (just bare plywood for now).
