Chassis-Twins or single
 

I was just wondering how many teams are going to make 2 chassis's this year. One for practice and one for competition. Just asking around.:)

Our team has twins and they are at perfect health.(SO FAR):ahh:

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

Team 195 is making two whole robots so we can practice with the one we don't ship. Right now we are maching parts and we just make two times the amount we need per robot.

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

We will probably throw together the kitbot with last year's motors, electronics, etc. after shipdate to mess around a little bit, practice driving, but mostly practice programming (we did this last year). That and build some type of pit display.

We are assembling two full identical robots.

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

Two robots here.

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

Uno... too expensive, and time consuming (at least at the moment).

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

No Money = 1 Robot (Hopefully!)

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

Way to keep things secret Alex... But yes, we are building two identical robots. As of now both are approximately 1/2 way there, minus assembly work. Not quite sure how we got into the two robots boat, but how do other teams make the decision? Is it planned ahead or does it just fall into place after the game is announced?

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

One robot over here too

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

Same as last year, 2 full robots.

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

Wish Deere gave us more moolah... then we could make two robots. But as it stands right now... and for a long time coming, we'll only have one robot. One great one though...

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

Same, we can hardly afford one robot!

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

One.

We don't have the time or the resources for two currently...

Re: Chassis-Twins or single
 

We already have two drivable chassis.

We built the first one over winter break, and it was available for testing on day 1 of build.

Using the g-code from the first chassis, our machinist was able to manufacture all the parts for our second chassis after school. Both chassis are sitting in our workroom.

I think this years game requires a great deal of skill, and a practice bot will be an invaluable resource.

As to being expensive, our chassis were designed to be quick and easy, using many recycled components. The only costs were the two AM shifters, and the 16 drive sprockets.

I have an only child (the robot is my baby). We are using last year’s drive train for driver practice.
