Re: Does anyone else get depressed when they ship their robot?
In previous years I hated to see it go because I knew it wasn't "done". This year was a little easier because mechanically everything works. I just wish we could have let the programmers play with hybrid mode a little more. Oh well, I guess that's what Thursday is for!
See you at Chesapeake!

Re: Does anyone else get depressed when they ship their robot?
It's bittersweet. I'm totally drained and I look forward to some R&R but it's always sad to see a build season end but after Atlanta is worse. I have FLR and Championship too look forward too and Webcasts in between.

On another note I hope everyone's build season went well and good luck at your various regionals.

Nah, now I get to work on my various other projects, including a new one I just picked up which is essentially an EARLY robot.

After the robot was picked up I took the day off from work and went home to sleep...

I was a little sad. Mostly because I'm a senior, so my last build season has come to a close
