Re: Turning back the clock 2012

4183:

-Better bridge accessing mechanism. (although we're fixing that before championships)

-6 or 8 wheel chassis not designed to go over bump. We made a lot of sacrifices in maneuverability to get our chassis to go over the bump, and it did unreliably. At two regionals, I think we only tried going over the bump once and we got stuck.

-Finish CAD earlier. We used laser cut sheet metal for most of our robot, so had to finish all our CAD design before we could get any parts for our robot. Therefore we finished the robot on day 45 and had almost no practice before the Utah regional.

-Machine vision (if only we had time...)
