Re: Any other teams building more than 1 robot?

Team 87 is planning on it this year. It be as identical as our BOM, 3-D models, and photo documentation can provide. Only the rudimentary parts of it are built now. Esp since we were still cutting, modifying, and otherwise breaking Diablo last night.

This will be our first, but the reasons were simple. For those that know us, we've had some issues over the past few years with the mentors who drove the construction. They sort of forgot those younger, student-type people who are the heart of this program. Myself and the advisors from the school decided we were taking back the program before my company decided it wasn't going to sponsor us. (Sad but it would have come to that is a year or two) Now we've got a large number of kids who aren't used to the tools. Between that and not wanting to have the kids out too many days for competitions, we decided a 2nd robot made more sense then another regional. It also gives us a good chance to get more students involved and comfortable with the tools.
