I have been in seasons that it wasn’t even finished at the 1st competition and took all of the practice day, then we had times we finished just before time to put it in the crate, then last year finishing at end of week 5. I tell you the team was so much more ready for competition by finishing by week 5.

Thanks Doug. As a programmer, I hope they keep making autonomous more interesting and important, as that's the most interesting part of the competition for us (that, and designing good control algorithms for our drivers). I guess I'll have to try and ask our build guys to do their best to finish (heh, as if they don't already do), so we'll get as much robot time as we can.
