How far are teams right now? Behind Schedual?

What is this "schedule" of which you speak, lol.

As far as progress goes compared to last year, I would rate us ahead, given that we didn't have a chassis till the middle of week 4, let alone a drivable one.

However, we've been designing since kick-off and we have basically decided upon drivetrain, but since the base of the robot hasn't been decided on, we can't build it. Our actuator is a different story, we've gone through at least 40 iterations total, and if you don't keep up, you'll miss at least 3, lol.

Hopes though are for design to be completed by the end of the week and building of the chassis to begin. If we accomplish it, it will be the greatest speed in which we've designed in the history of our team.

Programming is a different story, we're working on some new ideas right now that i'll just leave up to your imaginations. But I will say that if we do everything we want to do, I won't say it would be completely autonomous, but it would be like hybrid mode the whole match.
