Off-season project ideas?

[Sam N.]

Prove to leadership that a chassis constructed from stock materials (and maybe only a couple machined parts) is just as good as a chassis made completely by a CNC mill.

Prove to leadership that a chassis constructed from stock materials (and maybe only a couple of machined parts) is much faster to make than a chassis made completely by a CNC mill (considering our current team resources, and our current machine shop).

Prove to leadership that we don't need to wait 4 weeks in build season to get finely machined wheels when we can just buy them from IFI or AndyMark and recieve them in less than a week.

Prove to leadership that the legendary triple-jointed 254-inspired Kara arm does not mean a free ticket to nationals.

Prove to leadership that riveting tread onto wheels is 9.0 x 10^99 times better and easier than using 6-32s to fasten tread.

Prove to leadership that it is absolutely neccessary to consider all the logistics of gameplay before we start to design a robot.

Prove to leadership that if a Ph.D in mechanical engineering wishes to attend our design reviews, invite him, offer him coffee, a lemon square, comfy chair, maybe even listen to him.

Whoa that list is long, better get to work!
