Re: How much planning goes into your robot?

Our team in the past has had sketches and ideas, with a FEW drawing with numbers that disapeared somewhere after the design decision making was over with. This year, we handled things a bit different, making cardboard models of the robot, and I've been marking everythign about the drive train out on paper, running whatever math I can (trig) and using a pencil and calculator like a madman making sure everything works and all that.
