Re: Who else is really, really behind?

We're behind, naturally. We are, however, ahead of last year, the year before, the year before that, etc. The electrical is mostly done (we ran out of 10AWG wire, so two victors lack power, and I think our battery mount may need some modifications), the pneumatics is done, the drivetrain is done, and most of the parts for the arm are done. On paper, it doesn't sound like we're that far behind, but by its very nature, our arm will need a lot of fine tuning to be effective and to avoid hurting someone very badly (it's a very powerful arm). I wouldn't be surprised if we were still fine-tuning our PID constants at the regional.
