Re: Who is building 2 robots

The FEDS have always just built one robot. We always talk about building a second, but we never end up with the time or motivation to build the robot all over again. We have done some things before, though, like building a prototype bot first, and using our old robots as practice testbeds. It's worked well so far, but I'd always like to have a second robot. Maybe it'll happen this year. I do know that if autonomous is as big as it was last year, then Dr. Joe is probably right on the money, in which case I'll be pushing it much harder this year.
