That's...simply...amazing. If only we had that last-minute drive everyday....We could have built 50 designs and tested them against each other to see which is best.

chesapeake is our test bed. I have a feeling there will be alot of modifying there. 4 grand for 3 extra days of build time. lol. Then off to philly do defend our title.

Re: building the whole robot tomorrow
neat...so we're NOT the only team that has to build in one day. we've also had the drive done and mobile but NONE of our systems are fully functinal. ones in the making and the others are being placed as im typing.

Re: building the whole robot tomorrow
I feel the pain.

We are finished (well sorta)

Drive Train has been working since week 3. (design,manufacture, build)
Mechanisms - x3 in place an tested

The build works well when you divide your team into sub teams to work on specific tasks/devices you want to accomplish.

like...
Drive Train
Mech 1
Mech 2
Mech 3
Electrical
Programming

Phil
