Is 12 hours enough?

[Heretic121]

OK... after countless constructive criticisms from close friends and other engineers a few members on our team are looking to completely re-do our robot on Thursday at nationals in 12 hours... most is already implemented but still mechanical changes need to be made...

1 - make our bot faster... we are already going to change the sprockets on our wheels from 44 to 30... we were a 1:2 from the KOP trans and are looking to get to 1:1 or 1:1.25 ish... that is an easy change to make considering we have to take some weight off of our robot anyways where we are taking off the side plates to get to the drive train...

2 - we have a turret... but it was scraped before ship because of functionality.... here was the problem... with our design for our magazine *ball storage in the back* there was no way to get the ball constantly to our shooter from the magazine while the gun was rotated more than 5% in each way off center... but the turret did work and the camera did track!!!!

in reality all that needs to be done in our eyes is dropping our shooter *a few bolts* and finding a way to consistently feed our gun from the magazine...

but with the lack of want from most of the team members and lack of man power and dis-agreement from one of our mechanical guys its hard, especially after being to 4 events myself and knowing that turret will make our team a 2nd round pick to a first round... so i have a question for you all...

do you think its possible? why/why not... and would it be feasible for us do to this and live with the robot we have until off season???
