Given our relative inexperience (mostly have freshmen this year), using a more proven system enabled us to get a robot quickly done, test it successfully, and teach the freshmen members how to work the design process to a finish with minimal tool access (no access to CNC, plasma, 3D, adnauseum). Unique? Yep, we love plywood, Modulox transmissions and the AndyMark chassis! Different? Maybe....we got done and tested BEFORE "Bag and Tag" night was done! Did my team have a bunch of "stuff eatin' grins" when we were done? Yep! THAT was different!!!
See some of y'all at the Dallas Regional very soon.....
