Re: 1 week down, are you on schedule?
We're somewhat on-schedule, despite losing two build days this week (meaning we only met three days for Week 1). There was an attitude issue with a few students that had to be sorted out, but I'm pretty sure that has been worked out. Even though we can't afford to lose too many students, that story about one team that started with only one student is just a reminder that we would rather keep 4-6 students who are truly interested in sticking around to learn, regardless of petty issues, than to have 10+ who are on the brink of fighting.
As for the robot, we've got the basic KOP chassis setup with our 6WD drive, complete with a temporary electronics board (that new wireless bridge/AP is a huge pain in the 'bot). So Tuesday we will start testing out the drivetrain, getting the programming going, etc. This is the first year we're attempting to build a practice robot. Setting up those IFI controllers was a nice blast-from-the-past.
Overall, I like where we are. Could we have used those extra two days? You betcha! But did they put us behind schedule? Not really.
