Re: MOEmentum: Week 5 - "Break Robot. Re-engineer. Repeat"

we broke ours, sort of.

we were paranoid about weight this year so we made everything a little to thin. we had it mostly put toegether and driving (still no arm) and electronics was unhappy with their shielding. they said it wouldnt be enough to protect against being hit with a robot. so we slammed last years robot into this years. the part they wre worried about did bend a little, and since we werwe about 40 pounds underweight (yes 40, its insane) we doubled the thickness of everything, and now everyones happy.
