Build Schedule

Just wanted to see how teams were coming along this season with one full week of build season left. Are you ahead or behind schedule? How does this build season compare to previous ones?

We are ahead of schedule compared to our previous seasons. We are about 85% complete with a few things to do but mostly complete.

Re: Build Schedule

We're running about 5 days behind schedule due to the complexity of the bot. We decided to do gears/climbing/ and shooting and have had difficulty finishing it a. Our goal was to have the first iteration done last Saturday. However, from the partial testing we have done I think it's going to perform fine and won't need any drastic design overhauls. Should probably have a fully operational bot (minus the gear placer) by the end of tomorrow.

Re: Build Schedule

We are currently only about 1 day behind but should have everything functional and running tomorrow.

Re: Build Schedule

On Saturday, we were ahead of schedule in more places than behind. Due to a round of flu and possibly other junk, we're now behind schedule. Still, this was the earliest we had a true-size chassis with prototype manipulators running (passive gear hanger), so we're still ahead on drive practice. Chassis 2 (active gear hanger, integrated winch) should be done in time to do a good bit of test driving before we put it in the bag. Chassis 1 will then be built to the same specs, and we'll do more drive practice, and possibly add a floor pickup before competition.

Hey, us too. But with a solid week and a half to go I think we'll be OK.
Systems integration isn't as smooth as in years past.

Re: Build Schedule

Some things are ahead, some things are behind, and for all I know we may be all caught up since I was at the shop last Saturday. The key thing is I am confident in our ability to meet the deadline, we (mostly) make it every year.

Re: Build Schedule

Control (programming/electrical) team is on schedule.
Build team is doing their best for the parts we have so far.
Rep is on schedule.
CAD is on schedule as far as I can tell.

Things were behind in the middle, but we're quickly picking up. We'll likely be done before the scrimmage at this point, but we're on the edge if we have a bad day or 2. It's looking similar to last year at this point.

Re: Build Schedule

I suspect that the teams that are behind schedule aren't piping up as much here, since being behind schedule seems to be the default norm for most teams.

I'll admit that we're not where we want to be, but it still looks like we'll finish on time if we put some extra time in.

We have had some sickness on our team as well. This past week we were pretty slim in attendance.
