Since this will be done by only students will this be your competition robot this year?

We'd love that idea. I e-mailed Dan Richardson a few days ago when we decided to do this, and he has yet to respond to me.

No, probably not. This 36 hour build session is going to enlighten us tremendously and help a lot with our year and getting started, but we never keep a robot the same for more than a few days. Last year, we changed the robot after every single one of our 5 tournaments, in some cases taking it apart 100% and just rebuilding.

So although this robot will (hopefully) be very competitive and help us and others learn a lot, it's unlikely that it'll stay the way it is - although we will likely use parts and pieces of it in our robot.
