Re: How far are teams right now? Behind Schedual?
We have prototyped a catapult already. Now we are working on articulated arm and elevator prototypes. Chassis will be started sometime between tomorrow and Saturday (still some debate on what our drive train should be and that will dictate how our chassis is).

In comparison to last year, we had our chassis done by Tuesday of the second week, and if we work with a drive system we are familiar with (4WD or 2 wheels centered with UHMW sliders on the corners) then we could make that date, but if we choose any of the other options being talked about, then it could take more time. As far as attachment last year, we didn't really start prototyping till week two, so I think we are ahead of our game this year.
