Okay, this might be totally ridiculous to ask... But where do folks drive when they are practicing? We're a Rookie team and we've built in one of our large classrooms at our high school. No issues there - we had access to the if needed, but did the building in the room.
However, now we've started to drive. And the tile floors are getting pretty marked up - needless to say, our custodial staff is NOT pleased with us (especially since we're in the new wing of the building that opened this fall - oops.). I feel bad because I certainly understand their concern, but at the same time, with most of the halls off limits, the gym in constant use (and never mind the marking up we'd cause on the floor there!), and the multi-purpose room (where we ideally like to drive) used by the cheerleaders half the afternoons, we're limited.
We no longer allow the students to drive in the halls (something was only said to me two days ago), but today there was a very concerned e-mail about the damage the "robot" was doing in both the hall and the classroom. We've got a week to practice - and I don't know what to suggest!
Thoughts?
(We are using two of the kit wheels and two casters...)
Last year we saved a ton of money by using a good bit of square tubing for the frame of our robot, square tubing is a lot cheaper then C channel. We get to use so much raw material that the cost should go down in certain places. - Derrick Maust [more]
