Re: Rebuild
We did this a couple of years ago at the Championships. A near fatal design flaw revealed itself at Buckeye and we had a robot that could do four things poorly and nothing well after a bad impact. So we decided that doing three things well was better. As several people have said, the key is having a good plan. We went over the plan a couple of times to make sure that we had thought of (almost) everything. We made sure we had all the parts we needed. And we had someone in charge of each part of the process. One of the important things was to manage how we would all interact with the robot. When you are all trying to work in the robot at once, you get in each others' way all the time. Good luck.
