Well, it does resemble more of a robot costume than an actual robot. But our electronics are designed, the programming is planned, bumpers are close to completion, drive team picked out (RoboCoach?), the OI is halfway built, and all the Solidworks models are finally finished. We may not have a robot yet, but we have Robot Potential!
