Re: Taking the Bag out of Bag Day
I don't know what we'd do, but maybe we'll find out this coming week. We finally built a practice robot. We spent hardly anything on it, maybe $100? a few extra (kit) drive belts, and a couple extra hubs to put rollers on shafts. We used last year's chassis, with this year's modifications. We only have one electronics assembly, so it's part of our withholding.
I think the plan right now is for driver practice and autonomous testing. After our first regional, we'll probably use it do develop the new mechanisms we discover we need, and fix the design problems we find.
But I don't really like "fuzzy" rules like this proposal. Putting the whole thing in a box and getting rid of it was pretty nice, it was out of sight and out of mind until the competitions.
