Look....
We are a rookie team, we have about 3 people who know about mechanical stuff and about 20 who are interested in electrical. We are a magnet school meaning every one is unbelieviebly smart at math and science (well some of us)(I personally enjoy the luxury of a seinor in AP BC Calculus-my own walking calculator)
But I digress...
The robot so far has been 100% student designed built and tested (what we have to test) (Except some TIG welding on our chassis) (you really ought to get a pro to do that otherwise they dont work really well)(and he tought us to do it so we can do it next year)
Our teacher is an electrical engineer and is not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to mechanics. We have no engineers. So we basically build by "the seat of our pants"
Dont knock the engineers I wish we had 'em we really have no clue what we are diong and an engineer that would help out would be great. Our robot in my opinion will kick butt and it is incriediable simple. Nothing fancy. Again the robot is a delicate balence between engineering and how well the engineer/s(to be) get along with one another. Just kidding!
Honestly i think if we had some engineers to help out it would result in a better robot but would we still inspire....
Wow that turned into a ramble...
