Well, here are my answers:
What's the status on your robot?
We've got everything planned out, our prototype is almost finished, and GM is welding our final pieces right now. We hope to have our transmissions installed today, and get our other mechanisms finished or near-finished.
What do you plan to do with the last week in build period?
We plan to finish our robot
Once we do that, we practice and party...
How do you motivate students to push on for one more week through all nighters and long work sections until they finish the robot?
We've got enough motivated students in our core group, we don't need to do anything. They show up on their own.
How do you plan to keep your members from burning out/getting sick?
Hmmm.. . that's a good one.... we need to work on that.
Are you planning to go to a pre-shipping competition/event? If so where?
Nope. I don't know of any in our area, but even if there was one I knew of, we wouldn't be ready. We'll be programming non-stop this weekend.
