Rookie Anxiety
At our last meeting our robot whizzed around, there were no major problems, and there was rejoicing all around (myself excluded). We have welded our aluminium chassis, made our grabbing arm, and we have mounted some of the pneumatics components. Our robot weighs 70 pounds, with batteries and all. My teammates our quite happy, and feel we are doing fantastically for a rookie team. I am extremely tense, as we have not even begun to work on autonomus mode and we have only begun practicing our driving. We still haven't worked out our motor response curve compensation functions, so the steering is primitive at best. Everyone tells me my fears are unjustified? Are they?
