Usually we get about a week with the whole machine, and another week with just the drive train while the arm/etc. is being built.
THIS year was different though...I would say about an hour total. That's inbetween breaking and fixing things while making those last minute design changes in parts. But, it comes with the job to compensate when any problem arises =)
i think my co-driver did absolutely awesome on the time she had to practice, and being a rookie too!
Kudos to all the drivers out there, no matter how much practice you got. It's a job that requires a certain mindset, and it's most definately not all 'glory.' Thanks for making my job at driving my bot that much more interesting. =) See you all at BattleCry, Rumble, or next year!
