Re: When does your team start actually designing a robot?

Right after kickoff yesterday: Get back to our home base, break into teams, assign each team a section of the rule books, have them break down their section and report back to the team as a whole, begin discussing basic stratagies in small groups and in the whole team, assign each small team a specific function (i.e. manipulating the totes/containers, drive train, etc. etc.) and have then begin prototyping ideas for their function.
Today: Continue prototyping, send teams to the T-building to start making scale models.
Tomorrow: Sharing prototypes, deciding on the best prototype for each for each function, begin sketching/CADding the robot.
