Re: How far are teams right now? Behind Schedual?

we had a meeting saturday after kickoff, and pretty much evaluated everything and decided what we wanted our robot to do. since then we've completely rethought the idea maybe twice, but still came out pretty much the same design. our chassis is laid out, and we're doing some prototyping for our manipulators. our programmer has done as much as he can already, and even has the drive code pretty much written, and we're just waiting for parts to build the drive train, hopefully done by the weekend but unlikely, so he can make that work

we already received things from mcmaster, and our things from andymark were back ordered, so they'll get here tomorrow hopefully, and apparently some other things somehow got caught up at the customs office, so they won't get here till next week.

compared to last year, we're at least a full week ahead, if not two weeks. However, since we our parts aren't here yet, we've resorted to dis-assembling an older robot to make it into a cart
