I know you've finished the first 75% of the robot, but do you have enough time left to finish the other 75%?

What is this word "done" of which you speak?

Well, I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Technically, the robot just "looks" 75% complete. In reality, each percent of that 75% is only half done as well.

Our prototypes are good and running, now just need to do some magic to transform all that wood to aluminum.

DONE??!! And we still have the 3rd 75% to finish!!!

Seriously, 70% done if we want to have a gathering/launching mechanism and 3000% if we're just going to drive...oh wait...that's ME that's 3000% done...I WANT SOME SLEEP!!!!

Two crates are done, and rookie team is coming to visit tomorrow!!! You can feel a little better at least

But yes I agree... this build season is cooking along faster than I thought it would!! Heck Ice cream for breakfast and Breakfast for dinner day is only 3 days away!!!

I'm not sure what compelled us, especially as a rookie team, to want to construct the entire robot in Pro/Engineer before building, but we did. Unfortunately, our CAD team is a bit slow, so the fabrication team got most of the drawings this week. We've got a complete lower frame and upper superstructure - Now for the guts!

Unfortunately the if our team had 2am meetings at the begginning we would just be talking and nothing would be accomplished because we're trying to find the best design. Then we'd still have to build it in the same amount of time.

I picked up the frame from the powder coating guy today. Its pretty

1245 has balls lifted, in the hopper and out of the hopper. At this point we are tweaking it for better performance.
