Re: 1 week down, are you on schedule?
Our design has been prototyped, and we've decided on our chassis for this year. We also prototyped a claw which seems to work pretty well.

Yesterday I also got the autonomous tracking to the goal. (From 8ft away and at 1/3 speed took about 4 seconds to get into capping position) This will help to determine how fast the arm has to be, seeing as we have to do a half rotation to cap at that height. From my testing, I think any robot looking to do a double cap in autonomous will need about 15ftps speed and an arm that can do a half rotation in 1sec

btw my autonomous code for this year is open source and comes with a set of video tutorials, feel free to email me for more info (mwtidd@gmail.com)
