Also, note when metal was cut. Week 5, right at the start. Also note the end results of that particular robot. And one adjustment was a simple replacement; the panel took a hard hit from a team that made it their business to try to stop us (emphasis on try). Not bad for a 2-week robot...
As Adam said, NOT a 2 week robot, if you crated it at the second week THEN it would be a 2 week robot. Until then don't call it a 2 week robot, it is arrogant AND a lie. Besides, did it lose a match? I think it did, therefore it CANNOT have been perfect. Remember, good is not perfect, nor is great.
