Re: Michigan State Championship

Re: The 6 Week Build Season and 'Mentor Burnout'

Granted 2005 was before my time with 469... Do we make changes? Yes. Are they sometimes big? Yes. Do they sometimes resemble other good designs (like 1114's arm in 2007 because ours sucked)? ...

Then don't... Who is telling you that you have to? Self impose your own deadlines. That's the beauty of it...it's in your control.

Re: Limit team $

Yes...we know that our robots would be in that division... Everything is so carefully planned out and nothing looks like it was added on after the initial design...ever.

We are sorry.
