We placed 23rd of 55 (58%) at Chesapeake in 2005, though I can't find our W-L-T stats.
Did we run out of robot design handouts, or did you want something else? What happened with the buttons?

Another thing that went well: inspection (three times!)
Suggestions for developing tactics:
- Watch the YouTube and CD posts (more people, more often), and watch the NASA webcasts if we're not in Week 1.
- Keep an eye or two on the FIRST forums, specifically for officials' tips (though not just driving--inspection, etc)
- Even if the robot can't make it, send the/one drive team to a good pre-ship scrimmage (preferably a powerhouse one). It'll help to see it played, even as a scrimmage, especially if we have a Week 1 Regional.
- Use the 5th Gear Sim?
Other possible changes:
- Bring the vice inside the building (to the pit, even). Also scrap wood and extra chain tensioners, if they're not already in the kit.
- If pivot 4 is still having a problem, do we want to add checking chain tension to the pit list? (can't hurt) I thought the tread wore out because the collar was loose.
- Figure out a more efficient way to switch plaction treads (i.e. not stapling)?
- (Next year) Accurately record any dimension differences between the competition robot and the workflow tools/second robot.
Other to-dos:
- Fundraising: 1511 and 103, among others, have this down to a T (or G or whatever it is), if we're looking for good starting-point examples (which we should). 103's site is less helpful, but they'll answer almost any question you can come up with (Championship Chairman's winners). CD's good too, of course.
- Set up CAD collaboration network (103's good for this too)
- Teach CAD team .dwg to .dxf converting and BoM function
- Have students think about Chairman's and WFA...before the first Saturday in January.
- Network! People recognize us for good reasons now, let's build off that.
