This all seems to come to a screaching halt due to a bolt that's too short, or a nut that won't fit where it is supposed to, or a piece that looks really good on paper but not on the bot, or funds running out, or (i could go on for hours), or a chain that doesn't quite have clearance to pass a cross member, or ....
BTW this is not to bash anyone on our team. Our team has worked their collective butts off, but still seem to have thes minute problems that just seem to halt our progress. To any other team in the same situation: You can do it! Just make sure the bot gets finished before you lose you mind.

Trudat, it happens to everyone. The team just found out tonight that the belts we ordered that we thought were the same are a different batch or something and shred to bits terribly easy. Ditto on the funds and ditto for manpower
Its all worth it in the end though
