Re: The build schedule: how do you guys do it?
Our team generally plans as such:
1. Rules, strategy, preliminary design
2. Design,
3. Frame, welding, chassis, programming, preliminary electrical
4. electrical, manipulator, bumpers
5. install code, finish subsystems
6. practice
This past season, we ran into a case of the lack-of-funds and had to build our robot on a shoestring budget which complicated and extended the duration of week 2/design. Then we couldn't find an available welder until week 4, thus losing week 6 entirely and most of week 5; mostly due to a lack of preseason planning. Other than those two issues, this worked fairly well for us.
