Re: Who has a finished robot?
For ours, we can say that we are almost done. Three weeks in and a 75% complete robot---what we usually are by the 6th week.

We have:

Drive/Chassis - Final Form minus battery holder (We are using the Super-CIM-powered chain-drive 8-wheeled system)
Harvester - Prototype completed and will construct tomorrow
Shooter - Prototype done (and it flies the balls much farther and faster than we have to, but that's really good)
CMU camera - assembled, takes pictures, but still need to configure it to track it
Autonomous Code - depends on CMU Camera
Autodesk Animation - Storyboard long since done, working on building actual animation now

Good news: It looks like that we're way underweight (drive's only around 40-lbs) so we can put extra stuff on the robot once we finish construction. We'll have pics as soon as we bring "Pedro" (our robot) to life.

This is a whole lot farther than where we were for the last 3 years of our existence. And we have weight and time problems solved. Just some calibration bugs us Programmers have to work out.
