how many teams are driving now?

[lilszek24]

We've drivin a few times, its been a little shaky at first because we are obviously still making changes to our bot, but both driving and the bot have been coming along nicely.

[Greg Needel]

just got word from 343 they are mobile

[Ben.V.293]

team 293 is making EXCELLENT progress. We've got a rolling chasis with our completed drivetrain mounted on it. Our electronics are done. All of our subsystems are done except for 1. Our programmers have done some REDICULOUS things and everything works great. I'm warning u guys, 293 is gonna be a team to watch this year.

P.S What could we be doing with 3 telescoping arms and a boat hook? Hmmm, i wonder.

[Pat Fairbank]

296 isn't driving yet, but we just got most of our parts back from Nortel's machine shop today after sending them out two weeks ago, so we should be driving in the next couple of days.

It feels weird, as if we haven't really done anything, since we have absolutely nothing built yet, but we're actually ahead since we have most everything CADded. All we have to do now is put together the pieces.

We at team 365 are driving, and all of the individual functionalities have been tested. Working on all of the integration now, and the negotiations between sub-teams has begun for mounting space for motor, pneumatics and such.

[M. Hicken]

Team 219 was driving, we had a wood frame driving last week, but we took it apart to work on the final design, basically, yes we are driving around

[Aignam]

We need to diagram and mount electronics. Other than that, we're more or less ready to go, ladies and gents. Stay tuned for teasers in the coming weeks.

SwampThing is fully capable of driving But There is no program and the controls arent mapped at all So .Not drivng moves in a fairly unpredictable manner tho

With all the drive prototypes we built in the off-season, we were technically driving the first week. Now we are just putting it on the final chassis with the other stuff.

wow... i am soooo relieved to find out we are not the only ones not driving yet. hopefully tomorrow (sunday) we will be driving. we have 1 of 3 subsystems done (as far as i know). we just recieved our manufactured gearbox, and plan to mount that tomorrow, so hopefully be driving tomorrow. im getting nervous. if we dont drive by mid week, im going to make an executive decision to use the bosch motors and our old motor mounts from last year. good luck

Team 1132 is Movin!
We're currently working on tightening our chain, however. I've skipped it off a few times. But don't worry, we're gonna get it nailed down.
Right now it's moving pretty slick.
We have a few parts left to be fabricated for our arm/plow, and then it's just on to assembly. We're almost there!

[edomus]

we aint movin and wont be movin for a few days

[OneAngryDaisy]

341 went up a stair today. under her own power that's all I have to say. sentence fragments rule.

[Alaina]

We let Blondie stand on her own 4 wheels for the first time today...She started rolling away...Does that count?

[Alavinus]

Team 1123 is/was driving as of Thursday. We then proceded to rip apart the miter gear boxes to make sure they mesh right. After much fine tuning the robot is driving again and we are just waiting on the arm guys to finish their 10.5 ft monster.

By the way... anybody having any suggestions to add 50 lbs. to the robot- we are a little underweight
