[magnets]

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm trying to convince the team that auto mode programming should start. Trust me, we're not really done. We have to do driver training, figure out the accuracy and improve our shooter, we need to have a rock solid auto mode.... the list is endless.

However, the team has a huge mechanical team that's disappointed at not being able to make more parts. They want to learn new stuff. That's why last year, they decided to build a 30 point climber (which took 55 seconds, 5 seconds under goal), even though they knew it wouldn't be super competitive, just because it had a lot of cool mechanical aspects. That's what I really love about this team., They get it. The students (and mentors) are really inspired to spend hour after hour working on every little detail in order to build cool stuff. They aren't driven by winning. For this team, the competition is only a really small part of the robot season. It's all about working together in the shop making neat stuff, learning, and having a good time.

tl;dr -- we know we are far from done, we're just looking for stuff to build/design, and we really like most of the game.
