Re: Robot Quick Build - Veteran Teams

Though our team isn't really a veteran yet, I consider myself one. For us the Quick Build was a bit of a waste. Instead of getting into brainstorming and rule review while excitement was still high, we were doing grunt work assembling our chassis. We also ended up putting in all this work for a chassis shape that we may have wanted to change later anyway.

The one benefit was that there was a RI onhand to guide us through the software setup. Where on the FIRST site to go when installers failed and the proper order to install things in. As far as we could tell there is no "guide" for the installation of software packages or for initializing everything, and that slowed us down a bit.
