Just wondering how each team is doing, we have our drivetrain, and other components finished, so we are about 80-90 percent done, what about you guys??

Will be available during the West Michigan Regional Competition and no time before that

At least, not from me...

I'm such a player.

We're behind schedule, like always. Our robot historically gets finished sometime during the first regional that we attend. Our team is typically understaffed when it comes to engineers and it typically takes us longer than it should since 95% of the people at our company are electrical engineers. I'm one of the few ME's on our team but my concentration is in control systems so I don't do hardly any "traditional" mechanical engineering except during this project.

We usually finish and do pretty well come our 2nd competition.

Us? We're on about our third revision of our robot idea. I'm not kidding. But now we're moving fairly quickly. We're actually starting to build things which is fairly impressive. It also helps that our high school is a Vo Tech school that can machine most parts for us. I'm just annoyed they redesigned my drive system. I liked it the way it was.
