I'm surprised this percentage of teams active on CD build practice robots. CD is more skewed towards higher performing teams than I previously thought.

Re: Did you make a second robot? [POLL]

We did last year, and initially we planned to build 2 robots this year, one unanodized and without leds that would be the practice robot. It would also be our first robot so we could see if there was anything to change. Then we didn't get some of our waterjet cut parts in, and had to re-order them. When we were about to get them in and riveted together, disaster struck:snow. Shipping companies as it turns out don't like several feet of snow. So we ended up with one robot, that was meant to be a practice bot... sniff... the lack of pretty pretty anodized metal is sad.... but it was the same robot, and we still had leds.
