How far is your team on your robot build, electrical, or programming?

Programmers are doing really well, and are trying to get the automatic aiming system working right now. I believe they are done the actual driving and ball collection system done, but not sure.
Good Luck Teams!!!

All we need to do now is plop all of the separate parts together (12 bolts total) and we'll have our robot! From then on it's driver practice, minor adjustments, and more driver practice! And of course naming the robot and making the robot video, which are always fun!
Also on the to-do list: Attend the Fembots' and Cheesy Poofs' practice days!

We've been mostly doing analysis for the other subsystem--time consuming but (hopefully) a huge payoff in competition. It's amazing how minor variance in motor speed and ball compression affects the arc of a shot. Programming and electrical are well underway, as well.
Good luck to everyone for the last 2 weeks!
