Re: "Telecommuting" Build Meetings

Design your robot.

There are lots of questions that prototyping things in the real world can help answer, but there are also a ton of practical concerns that can be solved with a little thought and by using CAD to visualize design. The big-picture ideas are easy -- it's the little things like mounting schemes, power transmission packaging, and design for maintenance that eat up most of my time. Those things benefit greatly from time, but they're boring and so they don't get a lot of attention at meetings. Now is the perfect time to work on that stuff.
