We have the mechanism completely built and ready to go on. Looks like it will work. It's actually been mounted on the robot before bagged.

But will we add it? It's really mixed.

I expect the mechanism to require testing and fiddling to get right. It wasn't 'designed-in" from the start, so we had to fit it in available space.

The number of hours the robot is out of the bag will seem too small and we have drivers that need practice on 'real' field elements.

Also all day Thursday, my team's build mentors and pit crew will focus on helping teams that need don't have inspection stickers yet.

I'd really love to have a scaling robot for this weekend, but we'll play again at the end of March. By then we'll have a practice 'bot to test it on.

So how many of you are looking at this this same way...?
