But I have to wonder ... are we forgetting about the science and technical INSPIRATION, and just rushing to build a robot as fast as possible? I just dont understand how, even working long hours every day the first week, anyone could get through a reasonable engineering/design process and have something built that quickly. Maybe I need to rotate through some other teams over the next couple of years to undetstand how that happens ...
We did go through our process, just this time their was alot less arguing and everyone immediately came to a consensus on the sunday after kickoff (unheard of).

We try to focus as much as possible on teaching members outside of the build season to have them as prepared as possible to hit the ground running.

plus having 2 welded frames doesnt say too much as we quickly chose to go straight for a simple wide 4wd with toughboxes, nothing fancy (as opposed to a crab)

lots of what Art said applies

Manual mill and bandsaw ftw
didnt even waterjet anything this year i believe, so no cnc whatsoever
