Re: What's your Build Pace this year?

Last year we didn't really start building until halfway through the season. This year, we already have our chassis, a solid plan, and most of our arm

Re: What's your Build Pace this year?

We just finished chassis tonight and are sending our CAD drawings out to get cut by a sponsor. Should have those parts by Friday. Then hopefully we can asseble it pretty quickly. All the parts should fit nicely because we CADed them first.

Re: What's your Build Pace this year?

This year our build pace has increased exponentially; we have gotten a chassis, lift, and electronics almost done on our prototype. This year we are trying to stick to our calendar and get our prototypes finished as soon as possible so we can start driver practice and our final robot. The calendar was made the week before kickoff to not be influenced by the game. So far our productivity has been exponentially better compared to past years.

Re: What's your Build Pace this year?

We are currently sending pieces in to be manufactured, and we have the base electrical of our robot done. In my opinion, we are pretty behind, but I hope that we will finish with a good robot.

Re: What's your Build Pace this year?

Practice robot drivetrain and electrical done. Practice robot elevator 90% done. Can grabber prototype done. Parts ordered for competition robot drivetrain, will be cut out later this week.

A couple days behind our target schedule, but still OK.

So we are doing much better this year.
