We have been paying close attention to the robot in three days project and our bot is quite similar to one of them. We have been feeling guilty about this.

BUT
recently we have started to re-engineer a number of systems to make them simpler, more efficient, and easier to build with the parts we have on hand. (Not willing to rely on order from AM or VexPro at this point in season.)

So in the end quite a bit of good engineering is being done, and that's the point. So we're feeling a lot better about the 3-day thing.
