Re: Any other teams building more than 1 robot?

Team Rush builds two. We are not a "HAVE TEAM," we just know how to expertly manage our time, money and resources.

When it comes to machining set-up is always the time killer. So making more than one part isn't all that costly. It takes more time if we have to re-setup and make parts later. With two bots you get all of the practice time you need, and you get to use the entirety of the six weeks to manufacture.

We drove the completed bot for about an hour last night.......we now have two weeks to learn how to actually use the thing!
