Re: How has your team changed from 2013 to 2014

I can honestly tell you that we significantly increased from last year's 33rd place to this year's 9th place finish. Even if this year's build team primarily consisted of 3 other students under 14 and me (who is 14), we managed to do better than last year (when we had a ton of people). The biggest problem that we had was that more than half the team graduated last year, so we weren't left with a big workforce. Thankfully, buying new machines and prolonging our build schedules to 6 days per week (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri : 3 hours each day after school; Sat, Sun : 10 hours per day) contributed greatly. Imagine! Last year, we were only working twice per week on the robot. Then again, it was only for 2 hours at a time, so I think you can get the picture ... Buying brand new tools and machines, refurbishing and rearranging the workshop, ... these factors all contributed to this year's success. We deeply hope to improve even more such that our 2015 season will lead us to a regional win and a ticket to the Championship!
