Re: How much planning goes into your robot?
I tried doing the same thing, but didn't start early enough and didn't get it tweaked enough.

Inside Sparky 384
Here at the Sparky 384 HQ, we have learned one thing well: planning helps prevent frustration, prevents relationships from breaking up, and also prevents those late night runs to Walgreen's for PeptoBismo.
At Sparky, we use a highly evolved form of decision making that not only makes the leaders lives easier, but also prevents one person from being targeted for an idea that didn't pan out at the competition. It's called a "survey". This "survey" helps us discover what our team wants in a robot. After the patent pending "survey", we then go to the drawing boards (aka Clark's Office) to draw up plans. We are never done. As long as the robot isn't in the crate and off to FedEx, there is still time for changes. While this is a blessing, we have limited it's curse part by freezing certain parts of the design, such as the drive system and others. |
