Re: Rebuild

I have rebuilt robots in the past. At the 2005 West Michigan Regional, my team (830) stripped our entire robot down to the bare frame, and rebuilt the arm and drivetrain in a day. As was said above, though... the key is to have a plan! If you know exactly what every team member needs to do, you can get a lot of work done in the 11.5 hours you have available. If you don't have a good plan, you'll just be wasting time. Get your plan together, make sure everyone's on the same page, and stay focused, and you can get it done!
