We are kinda in a rough position. Because we have no access to cnc, milling, 3d printing, 8020, or even square aluminum tubing we have to build everything out of bar stock and I bracket. I very economical but very annoying thing. We are almost done with the frame. Have about 4 Major holes to drill and like 16 more nuts to tighten. From there we can put in the elevator but being we haven't even mounted any pullies yet we have a lot to go. The good thing is we do have very good coding and electrical teams we are almost done with electrical (we are making it really tiny I mean crazy so) and coding was done week 1 (including tuning in the mecanum wheels)that is other then making the elevator go up and down. So yea we are doing alright but it's. Going to be close and I doubt we will get any driving practice. We still have to mount all the elevator mechanisms including like 8 pullies and we also need to build the lift arm.
Hopefully next year will be different now that we have sponsors but it. Doesn't help our mentor problem or lack there of.
