After the SCRRF Scrimmage, we are going to have a party because our robot will be underweight. Our mteacher advisor will not allow us to drill and cut holes after the scrimmage. It is a rule. Everything that can be lightened, will be lightened from the start. No exceptions. Everything will be designed in Inventor before anything gets built. Period. Last, there will be no adjustments anywhere in the robot. This is what hurt us a bit last year (drivetrain out of alignment, binding). Everything will fit precisely at the begining, and remain that way until the end.

Those are the changes my team will be making.

A change I proposed is that appearance is just as good as performance. Our robot shall look as if it came off a store shelf. Everything that can be polished, powder coated, anodized, or properly painted will be.

Although I am a Ford lover, I like GM's slogan: We are professional grade.
