2 years ago we had two design's that the team could not decide on so we did both in one. Both ideas were great and alone each would have been very efective.
When done they sort of worked together, infact we stunned the whole arena at practice when we started the practice by opening up our machine that was a full 19'6" (Ninteen feet six inches) long that started well within the foot print.
It worked and it didnt work so during the 3 days between the regionals and shipping for the Nationals we cut the bot down to 3 feet and came up with an amazing design that did much better.
It was not a total failure because we learnt from our errors, recognized what they were and as a team we made the changes. Nothing is lost if we learn from our mistakes.
The following year remembering the prior year they went on to make an amazing machine and will do the same this year.
