Re: Basic Robot Kit
I think it'd be useful for those trying to help to understand:
1. What you're trying to build and/or what you're trying to learn from this pre-season project.
2. What you already have from your 2016 robot/season.
3. If you can't (or don't want) to salvage your 2016 robot. Don't take this to mean you necessarily should salvage your 2016 robot... but it may be that this new pre-season project could replace your need for having an existing robot platform.
It seems that if you're really limited on cost, you can either re-use the 2016 control system and some parts to significantly save money, or perhaps acquire an old control system from a veteran team. Spare control systems are hard to come by, but it's very valuable to have.
