This year we kind of just winged it and went ahead and built the main frame and such for the practice robot right from the start from old parts and had that done and wired up in about a week. Then we had the shooter mechanism caded up and we built that. We had a fully working practice bot by week 3 or 4 I think, and after everything looked good we built our final bot which was kind of the same minus some major changes to the electronics board and some different materials.

The biggest difference was the big lifting pistons was not on the practice bot, and during competition we found that it was way harder to pick up balls with the pistons on.

tbh the practice bot in my opinion is more of a prototyping robot instead of a bot that you would do a lot of practicing on unless it is the exact same.
