Are you kidding....... Your in the finals and theres 2 minutes between games, you discover your main gear box has to be rebuilt what are you going to do whip out some raw material and wave a magic wand, because thats what you will need to save you.
Your assuming that the machine shop will drop everything they are doing just to fix your Robot, Your assuming there is a machine shop???.
Wake up. If you think you can fix all major parts with some raw material in the blink of an eye then why do we need 6 weeks to build, why not have the teams build their bots at the Kick off.
Its nice to know that your team has so much money that it can afford to make so many extra parts just in case. But many teams are not in that group (us included) so many of the posts above are thinking of their plight. Who needs the chalenge, not me. Give us the 3 lousy days.
