Re: How much do you design before kickoff?

I hope you are not really building your competition robot for the 2005 season. That would be a violation of the build rules. You can't use anything actually constructed during the off season on your 2005 bot. All construction for 2005 must take place after the kickoff.

Here is the Robot build section from last year's rules. Just plug in 2005 in place of 2004 and follow along.

5.2.5 Design and Build Rules
<R09> Teams must fabricate and/or assemble all custom parts and assembled mechanisms on the robot by the
2004 team after the start of the Kick-off. Mechanisms from previous year’s robots may not be used,
however, individual off-the-shelf components from previous year’s robots may be re-used to save the cost
of re-purchase of these parts IF they meet ALL of the 2004 Additional Parts and Materials Rules.
• If you do use previous years’ components, their costs must be included in the 2004 cost accounting,
and applied to the overall cost limit.
• You may not use previous years’ motors in addition to those provided in the 2004 Kit. You may
use previous years’ motors as direct replacements for those provided, however they must be the
same identical motor as in the 2004 Kit. [Note that 2002 and 2003 Fisher-Price motors are not the
same as those in the 2004 kit, and, therefore, CANNOT be used.]
• You may not use previous years Robot Controllers or Victor 883 Speed Controllers.
