Re: How far are teams right now? Behind Schedual?

Well, we were finalized yesterday. But today in a meeting we found some serious flaws after playing around in CAD, which forced a redesign (better now than later). We kind of mashed together two ideas and it was my job to model it. I just finished our robot, 90% complete. I left out a few things because they're minor details and I've been in Inventor for a little over 5 hours now. Basically I got the thing to come together and work properly.

We ordered all the metal and components for our chassis today. Should have the stuff by Monday and have our chassis done by mid next week. Tomorrow we'll be ordering stuff for the manipulator. The way the ball is rolling right now (could be a teaser....) we should be done by around mid 4th week or so (knock on wood). We're right on schedule.
