the trend so far leads me to thinking it was a harder build year with fewer teams having the resources to build 2 robots. hmmm

we build two robots it is not really difficult but you have to have enough people this year we had 1 engineer 1 teacher 1 mentor and 8 students consistently and we stayed until 9 everynight and pulled it off so yeah it is time consuming and cost consuming but we pulled it off :)

Josh - failed to mention that you also need tools, equipment, and facilities to enable this to be accomplished. When you make a part, its the set up that often doubles the time. Sure, this does take more material, but if you plan ahead when ordering it will help you economically.
Also, Josh - what appears to "not be really difficult", is a matter of perspective, my fine young friend.

i think that's amazing that some teams have the time to manufacture more than one robot and use them to practice.. how great a help that would be!

We are building the second bot now. It's just a kit frame with six wheel drive. We will only use this for driving practice.

We did not build an extra ball 3 point shooter mechanism.
