Re: 19 days left, where are you?

Behind schedule by about 2 12-hour sessions due to the 30" of snow (that is now nearly completely melted...).

- Have excellent proofs of dimensions and mechanisms using plywood & 80/20, including intake --> shooter transfer and a shooter that scores consistently after being fed from the intake
- Have prototype drive train done using the real dimensions, ready for wiring (usually would be running around by now)
- Have no parts manufactured for the real production robot (usually drive train is done)
- Have the most robust & detailed CAD of the entire robot we have ever had, including bolts for clearances and bolt holes so there are no second guesses during manufacturing
- Had every part/material order delivered over the last two days
- We will have lots of machining tools, a CNC, spare tooling and a warm-enough forecast for the weekend
- Software has been using prototypes and "close enough" drive trains to test autonomous, implement teleop automation, learn sensors, etc.
- Have a "Technology Roadmap" of how to elevate our level of play over the course of the competition season in the event we aren't able to get back on schedule by BAG day.
