Well for once in 14 years of FIRST our team has actually made a paradigm shift and started building in the first week with a goal of having a completed system done by this Saturday. My goal since I started 6 years ago was no allnighters. I 've spent the first year 3 allnighters straight with my very own hammock at our build site before the ship date. After that my goal was clear.
So hopefully we'll even have driver practice on the robot and maybe have time to build a whole practice bot for spares.
We can only dream I guess but at least we're making the attempt. I head the drives team this year and my subteam has completed the whole thing and actuially driving it last Saturday since everyone wanted to go home and watch football.

From what I've seen in FIRST, teams that copy generally always learn something from it, and if they don't, the copy they produce is of much lower quality than the original. - TheOtherGuy [more]
