In 1997 we did not have anything but the drive system designed (and not even built) when there was only 3 weeks left. Yet that robot is at FIRST place as a display. In 1996 we started building after about 3 days and we never won a match that year.

The most important thing is to have a good drive system done ASAP. That is your foundation and it must be just right. But, it is so important to have a clear understanding and agreement on what the concept is before you start designing and making parts.

I can go on forever on this - just my 2 cents for now.
