Rich -

We had the easy job of the assembly for the video - the real champs here are the team of FIRST volunteers (some requested to remain anonymous - very GP), Innovation First Folks, Woodie & the FIRST engineering team who did the design, manufacturing and logistics work over the summer.

As for time - the transmissions can go together in 20 minutes. The frame itself can be just as quick as long as you have multiple hands with multiple tools (the 72 screws is a lot of twisting for one set of hands). The wheel hubs are another 20 minute job, followed by a 10 minute installation. Add the chain and you're set. As for wiring - an experienced person with the right tools can knock it out in an afternoon.

All in all great fun!

Cheers - Vince
