If all you want is a robot to drive around in a circle and score points by crossing lines, I'm going to have to say I would actually this year (for the first time in my whole FIRST "career" of my 8th year in '08) tend to believe someone that said they have a "complete" robot.

Now, take that robot and practice, practice, practice... Throw in some chairs as obstacles... train alternate drivers..
Do other non-robot things...

You've achieved the mechanical task at hand, now start to build your team as well, and achieve the "I" in FIRST which is the "Inspiration".

Don't stop doing things as a team just because you've gone wild for 2 weeks (yes I would say that to.. it's a force of habit since we are in the 2nd week, and not just an oversight of the date we all started).

But anyways, now that you've built a Robot, go out and build a Team. Build a base for inspiring your community..

You are never really "done" with anything in FIRST.
There are way more tasks every year than building a robot..

Try starting some work on Dean's Homework... That will give you something to do in (at least) the next 4 weeks or so & beyond.
