Re: Question of the Week!!! (10/11/04)
Practice is important!
If your drivers first drive your robot at the regional, you probably won't do very well, and are doing a disservice to all the people who built and designed your robot. Get a drivable chassis of some sort within 10 days and work from there. Have driver training (either with an incomplete robot, a past robot if you have one, or a box on wheels) as soon as you can. Set a final completion date at least three days before shipping, which will give you a chance to drive your completed robot, break it, and then fix it before sealing it in the crate.
