Re: Practice Robots

If I were to try to figure out why my team made a leap like we did from our rookie season to our second season I would have to put building a practice robot down as one of the most important endeavors.

We are not a 'high resource' team - every dollar we bring in the students are responsible for. The High School offers no funding - just the Tech Ed Labs (as I am the instructor). The students are responsible for how the money is allocated and against my advice they decided to invest in a practice robot in year two. The amount we were able to learn was well worth the amount of fundraising and door - knocking we had to do.

Edit: Dang it! I got sucked in anyway!
