this is my teams 5th year...and we have still never made a second bot, or a practice bot. we have a 5 minute programming practice bot just to test things if we want...but thats it. we have always "finished" 5 minutes before putting it into the crate.

What you can do, is submit 2 configurations.
Basically your chaise stays the same, and you can switch your manipulator. We tried it one year, but we just stayed with one because it was too hard to switch to the other. |

we actually got to build 2 robots this year. We shipped one and we practiced driving and worked on some other details with the other one. We actually took both of them to every off season comp. we went to. It was a lot of work, but it was pretty cool having 2 identical robots

oh yea...
btw, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER TWO IDENTICAL ROBOTS IN A COMPETITION, only identical parts. for example, back ups of custom made gear shafts, etc, etc, etc

Bellermine's 2 Bots
Bellermine (aka Cheesy Poofs) built an aditional robot over the summer for Cal Games (an off season regional in North CA). It was entirely student built and made to pick up balls. They talked with WRRF who set up Cal Games as got it OKed to bring 2 bots in. For acctually compition you would have to have an aditional team for two bots.

For the California Robot Games we entered our robot from last year as well as a modified version of our robot from 2 years ago. Our robot from two years ago had an easily removable arm so a group of kids took out the old arm, made a new ball picker-uper out of spare parts, made a few tweaks to the chassis, and entered it.
Too bad it didn't do too well. |
