Actually, we sometimes don't start the robot fab/build until week 2. We spend time prioritizing robot functions, evaluating designs, prototype, etc. to achieve simplicity.
Because we lost our workspace the day before kickoff, the first pieces of competition robot were not fabricated until the start of week 3. Thank goodness for the 65 lb allowance -we used 90% of that for the Arizona Regional.
