Hey Jeremy!!,
We RoboStangs is doin great!!! Half way through and quarter done … I can feeeeeel the all nighters comin.
Our experience reminds me of a saying by my favorite guru, Tom Peters… “Anything worth doing, is worth doing poorly” …if ya think about it, it’s positively prophetic.
All the best to your team … “May your wheels have infinite mu and your CG never fall outside the borders of your footprint”. (Only a FIRSTer would understand)
Thanx, Ernie P

Infinite Mu you say? As nice as that sounds, you gotta remember that you’ve got to out power static friction to get going at all and that has it’s own Mu. With infinite Mu you’d be sitting there for the entire two minute match. 
And as far as getting behind goes, there’s this excellent quote from an engineer on my old team: “The sooner you get behind, the longer you have to catch up.”
