Re: Turning back the clock 2012

Things I learned:
  • 3-wheeled shooters will not give the results you need no matter the set-up.
  • Watch the robot weight! We lost important features that we could've used.
  • CAD.... we need more CADing.... (or at least I do)...
  • Prototyping. We had a general ideas that worked, but we kind of prototyped on the wrong things.

Things we did well:
  • Strategy. We kind of missed the mark, but we had requirements that kind let us win.
  • Drivetrain. Nailed it this year.
  • Scouting. We got reliable data that we could make predictions from for once.

We had a great year. In fact, expect an improved 1501 at the champs....
