Re: Drive Practice
On Code Orange we built 3 robots (2.5 for 2016)
1) competition robot- driven a few times before bag and tag and kept as pristine as possible
2) practice robot for drivers and trying new ideas- we practice nearly everyday and continuously improve the robot from what the drivers, mentors, and team members see happening during their practices.
The rest of the team then figures and designs solutions, while pit crew gets their practice attaching new things so we can repeat at comp and are able to fix issues quickly since they experienced them on this robot!
3) programming robot- to tune in things like autos and vision tracking, the first robot we complete!
Practice robots are so important, I can not stress them enough.
If you cannot build a full replica, build a drive base, your drivers need to know controls like the back of their hand
