Only one, Boom Done, of the 6 72 hour builds used a completely custom chassis and they did it show that it was possible in such a short time. All the other chassis were basically COTS. Part of the reason for the 72 hours builds is promote products which isn't a bad thing. A more diverse understanding and use of COTS parts helps teams build better robots.
i do not TOUCH the robot. i don't even press the load button or the reset button. nooo touchy. but i like it better like that, this way, when something goes wrong, i can wholly blame the electronics ppl - nehalita [more]
