Re: What did you learn from this past build season?

Pneumatics are wicked.


Also, the New England usage of the word wicked.



Things I didn't learn - How to pronounce the names of anything in New England.

I've learned that a hammer will fix nearly every problem with mechanical.

Re: What did you learn from this past build season?

Yeah one other thing I learned was when you do something, make sure you do it right the first time. Now this may seem like common sense but some members on my team started a job, and did not finish it properly or left it for someone else to take on. This lead us to having to take apart or robot like 5 times because one thing was not mounted properly.

Re: What did you learn from this past build season?

We learned to order parts as quickly as possible, with the quickest delivery time. We also learned to stay updated on the progress of parts being made and shipped, and to plan on them coming in several days late.

Re: What did you learn from this past build season?

Restarting 6 days from the end of build season is not easy. Robot in 6 days is not a fun process.

Re: What did you learn from this past build season?

Maybe there's a reason we're the only robot with tank treads.

Also, you have to build things to be robust in this game.

Re: What did you learn from this past build season?

We learned - or at least set a new team record for - how little time the programming team can have with the robot for it to be functional for competition. Apparently it's about 6 hours.
