You do know that it's often been against the rules to begin building an assembly that goes on the final robot before build season, right? I imagine you meant prototyping or something rather than working directly on the robot.
In that case, yes, Team 1714 is designing and building a crab drive chassis, to gain knowledge for use on future robots. ^_^
We're up to our eyeballs in demos and projects. From what I can tell, everyone wants to do more (no pun intended) every year, so basically at this rate in 2015 we will need to build a robot to do all of the work we want to do :/
On top of a crab drive robot, we're building a customized cart (with more underglow, more polycarbonate, and more room for safety equipment), learning LabView, building a Vex version of our battery charging station, reorganizing the entire shop, demoing, more demoing, getting the 2008 robot running for driving practice, CRI, IRI...
I guess the idea is that if we're this busy in the off season, build season will be no sweat at all ^_^
