I know what it's like. The first half of the build season was almost purely lasagna. Now it's pizza 3 out of 5 days.

The robot itself is going...well....not amazing . The programmers have been waiting for the frame for 2 weeks, electronics have been mounted and taken off way too many times, and we spent all of today changing the basic frame...still, the robot will definitely be done for tuesday

Re: 6 days left,are you readyyyy!?

After being forced out of our lab for 13 days, we have made a TON of progress over the last 5 days. Things are really coming together. With the new holding allowance, we are making plans to hold back most of our robot for tweaking and refining before the VA regional.

Re: 6 days left,are you readyyyy!?

Our robot is driving around, kicking balls, and 89% functional...
we are working on an autonomous mode as we speak, and finishing up the last touches on all the mechanisms...
the hing that needs the most attention is our wiring, which is a rats nest right now :\
we had to switch out 4 spikes in a row today, because they mesteriously ALL went bad...all 4 were the compresor controll spikes...weird.

but it is coming together nicely...

Are you sure you just didn't blow the fuse? Remember the compressor spike needs a breaker not a fuse.

Re: 6 days left,are you readyyyy!?

Robot 1 is done, and is in programming's hands.

Robot 2 just finished painting all the parts, now all we have to do is assemble, chain, and wire everything.

So far the programmers have gotten all wheels spinning, pneumatics kicking, and boxes turning. Just down to optimizing the code.
