I wish.

We're not in that bad of shape. We are going to run the arm and drive train till it breaks today. But we are still having problems with our latch on our lifters. But we'll get it done:D .

done with everything but the ramp and autonomous and some other small things

Re: Who is finished???
 

Team 1015's robot is looking good. It'll supposedly have a ramp, but lesser mentors such as myself haven't convinced the big cheese to ditch it. (Because we need to focus on other things, we wouldn't do it well, and weight...)

Programming is looking good. The camera is working MUCH better than it did last year.

We've still gotta finish the bumpers and figure out good chain guard methods (and I think also, a few limit switches on the arm).

I'll list my two biggest disappointments with the robot this year. They're kinda obscure though :)
- The bumpers. They aren't done. They're easy. Though a handful of students have been assigned the task at various points, NONE of them have shown any initiative. Sure it would be better if I focused on just one student and more often, but I'm only at the build one day a week.
- I dislike the robot name this year... again. It's japanese for "Black Sheep" and a pain to pronounce. At least it's using the nickname of a student that actually does work this year. Last year's was named after a less than ideal team member.

Our robot looks good... Our lift system for the tubes is amazing. We also have two "ramps" however... I don't think we'll be able to use two of them. Two good ones gets us 10 pounds overweight, and if we use one ramp we can leave in a few cool things.. All in all it should be decent... our control is pretty sweet, that's for sure.

Team 95's robot (Galileo) has finished mechanical fabrication and basic controls testing. We'll continue to develop controls and chase minor mechanical issues for the next week. We'll probably go to a scrimmage as well.

Re: Who is finished???
 

As of right now... Buzz is 95% done.

And extremely underweight (for the first time in 12 years)
