Week 5 is just too late in my book, it leaves no time to order parts (a lot of things are out of stock by then) or fix any problems that will come up.
One of the main problems is that we only meet 3-4 times a week for 4-5 hours each time. The team leaders want the entire robot in CAD but we don't have that nailed down yet. We need to kick it into overdrive I think. Personally, i'm on the programming team and we have very little completed. Drive train code is finished (Reused 2011 code) and dashboard is nearly functional. We're looking to get vision done by next Saturday but finals are this week so...
