There are 3 schedules - there's where you'd really like to be, where you reasonably expected to be, and where the students expected to be. In my experience, these 3 schedules never line up

Our students set a really aggressive schedule this year, and as a result we're behind right now. But we're still on track for what the mentors wanted (which has build finishing early so we have time for programming and driver practice). We probably won't have time to do any significant improvements at the end, but just about everything on the robot has gone through 2-4 iterations already, so hopefully that won't be a problem!

The way things are looking, we'll probably be around 75% functional by the end of Saturday.
