Re: How do you make your second robot?

We fabricate twice as many parts to start with. We assembled the drive frames more or less in parallel using two teams of students.

We used the practice robot to identify construction problems and to test ideas. We also used the practice robot for driving practice while we worked on the competition robot. We implemented the best ideas and construction practices on the competition robot.

We actually finished the competition robot first because we had just enough vendor parts for one robot. We finished the practice robot after bag day but in plenty of time before our first competition.
