Our hardware team committed to finishing the robot in week five and they did it. To do that we had drop some of our hardware goals. They saw in 2006 how important autonomous was to our strategy and wanted to give us time.

We had an 87% auto mode success rate coming into the championships because we took a week working on software. But also we spent 5 weeks before that building vex bots testing our ideas before putting it on the big bot.
