Re: Survey - When do you expect to have your robot complete?
Theory 1:
We finish at the end of week four and have a week to debug and practice driving. Theory 2: We get a rolling chassis together around 6am the day of the UTC Scrimmage Saturday before shipping and debug between then and the ship date. Theory 3: We discovery we are either way overweight or aren't playing the game right at the scrimmage and do a panic redesign in the last 48-96 hours. This is a good case for plan for the best prepare for the worst. I have not had a competition Thursday at which I didn't have a panic of figuring out how to fix what broke so i go in with that mindset. I would like to have a clam practice day this year but I doubt its in the cards. Remember when you say a good robot is never finished one fundamental rule for engineers: "Better is the worst enemy of good enough." Sometimes you just have to move on even though you know you didn't have the optimal solution. Pete |
