Re: Once build season starts in Jan, what should I expect?

Start with the KOP items posted in various places (3Dcontentcentral, for example). That'll take out any KOP work, and you can start now.

Now, CAD any parts that the team needs. If they're COTS parts, see if you can get the CAD for them. Again, saves time and energy.

Put them all together and you have a robot. Might take a few weeks to do, but so does the real robot.
