Go to Post I think that this clearly indicates that 2017 will be the year we finally see 3.63 robots per alliance. - Caleb Sykes [more]

Re: Practice Robot Cost

Our team has a pretty unique build process for our robots that helps keep the cost pretty low. We're pretty heavy into cad, so we know what our final robot will weigh before we even start building it. We begin with a bunch of simple prototype through weeks 1-2. Then we build a wooden robot frame starting in week 3, and slowly add more finalized actuators on to the practice robot during weeks 3/4/5. When our wood bot is done, we build the metal one that kids have been CADing for the past few weeks during the last few days of week 5, and the beginning of week six. Then we improve the metal one until ship day. After, we modify the wooden bot (which at this point is in bad shape) to be a driver practice robot. The wooden robot costs almost nothing more because it's all cheap materials/old motors.
