Re: How do you feel toward you robot?

Luke described it best: "What a piece of junk!"

Well, I think it'll rip itself apart in our first round. First, the motor mounts will go, since I kinda fudged them all together. Next, the hopper will collapse, and the electronics will melt into a smoking heap. Yes, I'm really surpised it's held itself together for so long. Or the fact that the picker upper roller thing works. Honestly, the measurements were winged ("Eh, this looks right"), the whole $@#$@#$@#$@# system was untested, and I was running off CAD drawings as soon as I thought of something.

Thank god I didn't touch the design of the cannon too much, at least one part of our robot might not blow up. And the drive system was rigged without me, so, I guess that should work too. Basically, if I had no connection to it, it'll be fine.

I hate how undermanned we are. Our robot's fat and overweight. Thank god we fed it cheese for the last few days, at least it's BARELY in the weight limit.
