We'll see, once we actually have a robot that works we plan on having preset buttons for each row, so Im sure if it's an issue we can have it slow down as it approachess the correct height,

I'm guessing they wont make it since this is taken from the poofs shop.

We're making a late night run down to LA tomorrow night to swap parts.

Why was the decision made to go with such a different chassis this year, rather than previous years which seemed to work so well for you guys?

Amazingly it only took the company one day to finish all of the parts. And we made one competition robot and one practice robot for each team.

The red ones are for 968 the blue ones are for 254 (twin teams), there are 2 sets of them because, most likely, they have an extra to practice with while the other robot is being shipped around

How do you mean? Other than those plugs on the side of the frame the side shields bolt into, and the 1x1 instead of 1x2 bar on the back, the frame is almost identical to last year's. The only "major" difference is we lowered the middle wheel an extra 1/16" this year.

Is it Saturday? If so, nope. We've got to broach our wheels and do some other stuff while in LA dropping off the parts that won't be done till mid saturday morning. We'll both be lucky to have it put together and running by Tuesday :-p

If the robot is done by then, but I highly doubt that it will be. We will just have to wait for LA
