For me, this just begs the question,
what is your team doing differently from 99% of the other teams that you can consistently create elite-level robots in 45 days with that kind of build schedule? Is it the amount of mentors with experience, project management, CAD, attitude, students, etc...? Can you elicit some principles that would be concrete takeaways for other teams following this thread.
My team has struggled the last four years producing a working robot by the end of the build season. The team is ready to try a different approach and we really want to look at successful teams to find out what changes we can make to make the build/competition season a much more positive experience. Not just from a successful robot standpoint, but from our students learning that engineering is a wonderful career. Right now we seem to be in a negative lessons learned mode, rather than positive lessons learned moving us forward.
