Lightbulb Re: Week 1: Where's your Robot?

From what I here from those gearheads down in Chandler, our robot is currently on a drawing table of some sort. I don't know why they would put it there, but it's not my place to judge.

Traditionally (a tradition I helped found ) our team does dream for at least the first three weeks, working on wooden prototypes of arm designs and chasses. The build process is a gradual one from weeks 4 to 5 of having enough robot built to test the mechanical components and spin the wheels some, and then lots of all nighters during week 6 to secure the wiring and get everything to fit inside that stupid box!

Hopefully since we're now an experienced team we'll have a better build schedule this season. ::crosses fingers::

Cool thread idea!
