Turning back the clock 2012
With most season over, and Champs right around the corner, it seems like a good time for reflection. What would you re-do about your team, if you could do this season over? Overhaul your robot completely? Spend more time getting sponsors? More awards focus? Small tweaks here and there? Did you happen to do so well that you'd gladly compete an entire season with the same exact team, same exact methods?
I think that for our team, Team 2410, we vastly underestimated and pushed aside the bridge. Our manipulator, as seen at both regionals, was mediocre at best. If we would have realized the absolute huge advantage that CoOp gives you, we would have invested in a stinger type device.
As well, I would say the next time precision shooting comes around, we will vastly expedite our fabrication time, so that we can get in as much practice and tuning time in as possible.
Oh, and get a heck of a lot more time spent on our Chairmans video...
Your thoughts?
*Edit: Yes I know there are threads here and there about specific parts of your robot, but I want an entire team review. Anything about this season you would change.
