Re: One week in, what are you doing?

Ok, but seriously...

We've done the analysis and decided what our robot priorities are. This drives mechanism and drivetrain designs.

We've built the field elements.

Teams are working on assembling the kit chassis and prototyping shooters.

Teams are wiring up the control system and learning how to make it go.

Teams are working on various other software challenges and wish lists like integrating a camera and driver station controls.

We are busy!

Did you guys notice that the counter stops there for you too? I heard something about the servers having to resync and preventing click fraud.

Yes, but it could violate T8: "A Team, as the result of encouragement by a Team not on their ALLIANCE, may not play beneath its ability."

We are choosing not to listen to the narrator and we shall go right. While we are there we may even look at the employee lounge, just to admire it. It is a room truly worth admiring!

Re: One week in, what are you doing?

We decided to participate in Robot in 3 Days, but to make sure we enforce our own cutoff time, we won't open our KoP until exactly 3 days before the midnight after Robot Stop Build Day.

Until then, we are meeting daily to take on the challenge of taste testing every local pizza place in the area and then ranking which ones we'd prefer during those three build days. (Note: Little Caesar's has been voted out... wayyy out)

Re: One week in, what are you doing?

I'm slowly dying as I read the long game manual. And I have succeeded in having an IV of mountain dew created for me. I am ready for an all nighter now.

We're going to score all the purple balls, and then cap the center goal while hanging.*

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

We are trying to figure out how to build wheels that don't get stuck in the sand and build a pole large enough to keep our tether from getting in the way.

We also raided harbor freight for drill motors.
