Re: How much planning goes into your robot?
We also split up into design sub-groups for about a week after kickoff. About a week and a half in, we present prototypes to the combined group, make adjustments to calculations for a few days after that so that each part fits. We attempt to CAD it out, but most times we just have really specific drawings on paper of each system. Then build begins (trumpets sounding in the background)!

Re: How much planning goes into your robot?
Our team drafts and calculates everything to the smallest hole. It is definitely why our robots are usually good every year. Even if we make design changes, or anything, we CAD draw it first, do the calculations and then make changes. The main people behind this is our Bristol Myers tradesmen, we learn a huge load from them. They are truly unique people.
