Re: Rookie Anxiety

Wow! Sounds great! You've got 20 days to go and you already have a robot moving around, that's awesome.

One thing I'd worry about, as funny as it sounds, is that 70 pound robot. That's awful light; is there time to design and add on a subsystem? Even if you just add ballast and even out your robot's center of mass, it's usually good to be around 130 for pushing and shoving purposes! Of course, if it's 70 pounds to get off the ground easier and hang on the bar, you may not want to mess with it.

You're doing a good job there.
