Kit Not Arrived yet...

[KenWittlief]

last year our team could not get into our sponsor site for the whole first week - so we had to meet at the highschool in a classroom

so we spent all that time analysing the game, the scoring, and figuring out exactly what we wanted our robot to do, then we figured out how to make mechanisms that could do the 'what' part.

it forced us to think things through, we couldnt start building anything anyway - but it worked out well - we hit the shop floor running and knew exactly what we wanted to build

so not getting your kit for a couple days - maybe its a good thing?

I tend to agree, though it's nice to look and perhaps toy with components.. mostly of the parts on our team have only been touched to be put away...

You'll only be behind if you haven't started brainstorming (well, around this time, finalizing a design concept).

No fear, you can do it!

We haven't recieved our kit, but it takes awhile to get them to FIRST teams in Hawaii. It's a slight dissadvantage, but we have A LOT of time to brainstorm. It'd be nice for the Programmers to start playing with the sensors in the kit on the EDURobot. Maybe they could send those out FIRST
