Our pit crew (mentors and students) was fully engaged (~10 people), plus there were some people outside of our team: some members of Team 188 helped with the ball collector/dispenser and other hardware, Annette from Team 217 (ThunderChickens) did most of the assembly of the electronics board, the good folks in the machine shop did a bit of everything (cutting shafts and making key slots, welding spocket flanges, making hubs, cutting steel stock, etc.). Then there were the teams who came forward with electronic parts, KOP trannies, kit chassis, and so on (45, 188, 217, 1310, 1397). The "One-Day Wonder" wouldn't have been possible for Team 4 to do on its own, we simply didn't have all the components on hand. Distribution of the effort outside the pit (to other teams) made a huge difference as well, because (as we all know) a 10x10 pit is very cramped for a few people, robots and tools.
Cooperation among several quality FIRST teams created this robot, Team 4 just happened to be the team in need with a "never say die" attitude.
