Re: Robot Tips For Rookie Teams

Build a demobot in the offseason, with the drivetrain your team is comfortable with. That way, the programming team will have a program test target for the drivetrain and some other functions! The programmers can get big headaches when they do not have any model to build to code onto. Also, for some things like drivetrain and other small things, prototype with Vex. It is easy to use and very good for when you want to build a prototype quickly, maybe even in a single meeting!
