Re: How many teams made 2 robots

The most functional robots ever running around our place at once were three.

We have our competition bot that we see every regional / nationals now.
We have a 90% identical (code makes it identical more or less) practice robot that we see everyday we want to.

At the beginning of the season, we build the kit bot to prototype arm designs and pneumatic systems on and kept the drive base of last year's robot for the programmers.
The kitbot got gutted but the programming bot stayed the entire season.

Near the end, we had our two 05 bots made and the programming robot.

Now we're down to just the two robots: one competition, one practice.

Before every regional, we take the transmissions out (they're drop in), sheet metal side panels, and wheels off the practice bot as our prefab material since all were made during build and havent been touched since.
