Re: Who is building 2 robots

generally my team has nither the time or money to build a second bot. even if we didnt spend any money on frills (in our case plain t-shirts and ink jet iron ons, and one of those little box frame furniture scooters for the bot) we're still way too impoverished. usually we try and put all the effort we can into one good bot. we have a custom frame donated by a local aluminum mill (generally its a heavily modified box) then the rest is effort, like drilling and pounding. we don't have any aluminum welding ability, so we are completely dependant on our sponsor's metal shop, and that can take 3 to five days to get anything back. if we did anything it would probably be a simulator for the drivers, but that's not my department I do the mechanical junk...
