Re: When to make practice bots
We build our practice bot before the Comp bot. We do this for a couple of reasons,
1. We want our programmers to have a solid test bed as soon as possible,
2. If anything doesn't quite 'fit' right we would much rather it be on the practice bot than on the comp bot. This way we have time to fix the issue before we assemble the comp bot,
3. When be bag the robot we don't want that to be the stop working point, we want the practice bot ready to go so we have time to practice and continue working on any improvements before competition.
