Utter failure.
So we spent the rest of today figuring out how the heck we were going to get this to work.
We think we have a solution, and we're testing it in two days.
But..wow, how the heck do you guys get everything done so fast? o.O

We get stuff done so quickly (well, most of us anyways) 'cause we're either basing our design off of previous ones, starting building the chassis right when we decide it's layout (as opposed to the grabber, we start everything as soon as possible), etc.
Our team got knocked off of our pace. One of our mentors didn't realize the error that one of our members made in the drawings and set us back a few hours.
