how is it even possible for you to finish in 1 day without doing illegal designs before hand and working before hand?

Something seems fishy

Circa 2005 Lone Star Regional alliance championship Lead by team 118 Robonauts and 231 High Voltage.

Retrofitted in 2006 with dual air compressors, 3 sections of 1" iron pipe for pressure accumulation with a 1" Parker quick action pneumatic valve for the purpose of launching tee shirts into the stands @ sporting events.

No this is not our competition robot just some C.D. humor and posting of some initial tests of mechanism ideas.

As I recall it took us about five weeks to get everything working on that robot for competition. The retrofits were spaced out over the course of last year as we initially used an automatic sprinkler valve and then a manually operated ball valve before the local Parker distributer donated the fast acting electronic valve. The robot got a new paint job this fall.

The reason it's finished so fast is that it's either the same or a slight modification of their 2006 or 2005 robot.

This is why veteran teams have an enormous advantage over rookie teams.

man the ball is twice the size of one of our desines

Done already? Wow. Good job, our team is only just about to solidify our concept.

that's how it is for everything you do in life, sports, games, etc.
experience brings upon success, success brings more success......We were all rookies at one time, and trust me, I dont want to look back on all of the headaches and heartaches.
