Rookie Team Timeline

[EchoingJabez]

Hey all, I a coaching a rookie team this year and I am constantly worried that we are way behind and never going to finish on time.

As of last Thursday we have our basic chaise built and drive train completed and programed to the point where we can drive it around the gym and it works great.

Outside of that things like our manipulator and our minibot are still in theoretical form and are just starting to be built.

We meet 5 days a week for a total of 20 hours a week. Are we in serious trouble or are we just rookies that are going through what all rookies deal with.
I would say our other huge issue is that we really don't have much in the way of mentors when it comes to programming which is kicking our butts, that and that we haven't quite found a place to weld aluminum or mill any custom parts.

At the same time we are still having a blast, I am just starting to worry a bit. Any thoughts would be good.
