Robot costume? Maybe if we had some polycarb armor or actual decoration on it. Right now there's not enough actual substance to disguise anyone of the fact that what they're looking at is empty frame.

Forget Robot Potential, it's more like Empty-Crate-on-Ship-Day Potential!

Re: Who else is really, really behind?

We've had Empty-Crate-on-Ship-Day Potential every year, except for Scott Baron's year (awesome mentor who managed to get the robot finished Week 5- we've never been able to replicate the feat). Anyone else surpass 766's level of unfinishedness? All of the pictures and videos heap on both inspiration and despair in equal measure, so with both types of incentive we should pick up momentum. And the polycarb for electronics board is cut, so that can be put on soon with electronics, I hope...

We usually drive by week 4, but this year the bot hasn't moved yet....
