Re: Finished Teams
 

While many (most??) years we tend to ship a student in the crate (thank GOD that GSR is a week 1 event! :p ), I think we're in very good shape to actually get some solid practicing in. A good crop of motivated and/or talented freshmen meant that the Mech shop was a beehive of activity most nights ... the way we always dreamed it could be.

Now, can we keep the enthusiasm up for another 10 days ... ?

Re: Finished Teams
 

WE ARE FINISHED!!!! With 2005,2006 and 2007.....the kids disassembled them and put the material back on the shelf. They are truly finished!!!:D

Re: Finished Teams
 

We had a mostly finished robot until about 5 weeks ago; we had to disassemble our 2009 bot, frame and all, for use in our 2010 chassis. By my estimation, around 50% of our 2010 chassis is made up of parts taken from the 2009 robot.

Most of our subsystems are in a state of semi-completion. We finally finished our chassis last week. The swerve modules and steering motor sprocket supports are done and mounted. Our kicker works in prototype form; the pull-back mechanism is in mid-assembly as I type this. Our ball controller just needs to have its motor mounted on the frame. And our robot lifting device is...uh...coming along.

We'll have a working robot by ship date, if all goes well. It won't be finished for a few years, providing that it lasts through future competitions.

I'm shocked that there is no option of "less than halfway finished". :P
should we round up?

Re: Finished Teams
 

Snowmageddon! What a perfect way to describe this whitish third circle of h***. We were ahead a bit in week three then 4 feet of snow or so later we are still locked out of our school.

Uggghhhhhh!

Re: Finished Teams
 

Well, as of today, our robot drives, kicks and everything else it's supposed to do. but there is room for improvement so I'm not calling it finished.

Re: Finished Teams
 

Haha. Done. Wait, do you mean you actually have to have your chassis *assembled* to be done? It can't just be lying on the shop floor in oh-so-many pretty pieces?

...Yeah. We might be behind. We're going to put in so many hours this week it'snotevenfunny.

Re: Finished Teams
 

We seem to be stuck between "almost finished" and "finished"

The only thing left to do is:
Add permanent grip to our ball magnet,
Load the full competition code,
Add a Lexan "roof" to keep balls off the top.

Other than that, only cosmetic details(lexan siding, sponsor-stickers,etc)

And the robot is going to be underweight this year :D

Re: Finished Teams
 

:cool: Four days left I can feel the tension building.:cool:

Re: Finished Teams
 

Jordan, is it time for us to panic yet?

Re: Finished Teams
 

We started panicking about 6 weeks ago :P

Re: Finished Teams
 

:cool: I not panicking I just saying that everyone has four days left until the robot has to be shipped and time to get everything tested and driver training is running out.:cool:

Re: Finished Teams
 

Is the tension building in a KOP part or is it in COTS?

Re: Finished Teams
 

Yes the tension is definetly building some where

Re: Finished Teams
 

:cool: Is there anymore teams that is finished?:cool:
