Re: Did you make a second robot? [POLL]

Team 2855 was close to building a practice robot this year, we got a second control system and set up a dummy board to practice programming on. We actually had two boards that were each used to program the robot in separate languages (LabVIEW and Java). This year was a transition year for us. We eventually used Java for the final robot but we kept the LabVIEW team (one senior) programming just in case.

This year has been our best year statistically since our rookie year. Also, this is the first year we've been active on CD.*
And, we won the Entrepreneurship Award this year**.

*Coincidence?

**We also have a random medal from 2009 that we have no idea how we got
