Re: 1 week down, are you on schedule?

Team 639 is a little bit ahead of schedule. We got our overall strategy and design done in record time (somewhat offset by the day we lost to snow), the field parts were finished in a little over a day (followed by 2 hours of trying to get it out of the door of our machine shop), and we've already got a prototype for a magnetic minibot about halfway done!

Programming has a temporary replacement for last year's driver station in place for extremely early driver practice, I'm working on adding lights to the base of the tower for autonomous deployment, and I'm working on rebuilding a control board for the '07 robot (with no documentation from '07). Overall everything seems to be running very quickly
