Re: Did you make a second robot? [POLL]
In 2015 we built two robots in sequence, but they were completed within a close timeframe of each other. We did not really decide which robot we would bag until the last week or two of build season.

This season we decided to not build a complete practise bot but pretty much possess an entire second robot+more in spares/parts. We spent a lot of time fine tuning our shooting mechanism during the build-season which used up a lot of CNC time, we built 3 different shooter designs with around 5 shooters built in total We mounted our shooter on a test bed which was the same dimensions as our chassis, to help our driver practise line the turret up for shots and also to help test and fine tune our vision tracking.

We are planning to build a practise robot next year.
