Re: How many days do your programmers get with a fully built robot before stop build

If our programmers needed a fully built robot before bag day to get any work done, we'd just sit there on the carpet.

They usually have a couple of days with a fully built (though subject to change) drive platform around week 4, but now that we're building two robots, we're tweaking our manipulators right up to competition. In 2015, we were "fully built" before bagging. In 2016, the key pneumatic cylinders for our launcher had not yet been received at bagging - they absolutely were installed on the competition robot on Thursday.
