Well, as far as construction goes, I doubt anyone's really started yet. You have to design everything first so that you know where it all goes; so that everything fits together. The more time you spend in the beginning designing the less time you spend at the end trying to force it to work (i.e. fixing stuff). Yes, driver training is important but so is having a reliable robot. Personally, my team planned on trying to cut out the base today but I don't think it's going to happen. If you start construction by next week you're pretty well off. About a week of driver training is pretty good but I know lots of teams that get less (like the team I was on before.....).
