We spent all of today figuring out constants for code and driving around the robot for practice. Now we have a twisted arm, a broken encoder on our kicker and no closed loop control at all. How bout you?
Congratulations, I always say if you haven't broken your robot, you aren't ready to ship it.

We won't ever be "completed", "done" or anything close. We are pulling the whole electronics board as our allowance and getting camera tracking down to a science in the next 5 weeks before competition. Also some aesthetic covers will be painted and ready to velcro the first day of competition. Even then it wont be close to being done. Never done... never done...
