Re: How much planning goes into your robot?
Planning?!! Boy our team went from one end of the spectrum to the other from 03 to 04. in 03, every piece of our bot was drafted before it was built. In 04, we were working off napkin sketches and our imaginations. If something dont work right you redo it. As for calculations, we did some but they went largely ignored until we found out we had problems. The main problem there was switching from drill motors with stock gearbox to chippewa motors with no gearbox. wild guesses don't cover that very well
