As a member on team 461, I can tell you that this is one of the best if not the best off-season projects you can do. Not only does it help your new members greatly by giving them feel of building a full scale robot, it also proves to be extremely helpful for build season. After we shipped the robot off, we took the lift and arm and slapped it on jump drive and we were ready to continue. This helped so much because we didnt have to worry about making a "practice bot". We didnt do so well at the competition, but that was completely unrelated to this. I cannot stress enough how good of an offseason project this is.
