[Chris V 1503]

Hey all,

I'm from team 1503 and what Karthik, Tristan, and Dereck said is 100% true. The mentors only helped us with the designing process. I would know it, I'm the leader of the Design & Build team for team 1503 and I basically along with a few others built the entire robot. Tell me how it feels after spending 3 hours designing a wheel, then spend 4 hours infront of a CNC machine making the wheel???? I had to do this for 28 wheels I spent almost half of the three weeks cutting wheels and various small parts that was designed between the three schools. Our mentors from 1114, 1503 and 1680 was basically there to help us along the way. Advice on how to make these parts, thats all. When we packed the robot into the crate on ship day. I had about 4 tears in each eye just watching all the blood, sweat, long nights, and hours I put into the robots. I had only missed 1 day out of the entire build season. It was our idea to build three identical robots.
