It must be so hard on you guys. I've been wearing sandals for weeks.

I don't know what you would wear for sub zero temperatures! And even 20 below. I feel SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad for you.

I'm sorry, you think this is a bad thing?
As a matter of fact... it's not even a problem with bagged robots. 71 and 233 are legendary for their demonstrated ability to come out of their crate (or bag, lately) with a pile of parts, either from the crate/bag or brought in, and make semis or higher.

Not for Torbots. We have to break out the lights to practice at night--our outdoor practice space is also used as a parking lot, but is poorly lit at night. (During the day, we use solar lighting.)


Oh, and with regards to practice robots: ours was running around by Week 2 with rough prototypes fully added by Week 3. It helps when last year had a similar drivetrain, and similar lower frame design, AND a practice robot that is functional again. We'll also be bringing quite a few spares of one of our key items in the withholding. (And quite possibly some dead weight--we're a smidge under.)

As far as I remember 1717 has come in with little more than a bagged drivetrain the past two years to LA, and won both times.
