no matter what happens it can't be worse than our robot from two years ago
it's still not finished

but, we went with what we had and were second seed in the L.A. regional
edit: I noticed this quote earlier in the thread
"because we try to stick with the philosophy "student designed, student built", things just take a long time."
and I would like to say that it's not nessassarily true
the mentors on our team offer great advice and we could definatly not function as a group with out them, but we have some students who can design and/ or fabricate as fast or faster than them in some cases
