Here's a list of things that I know of that need to be done before ship.
Setup and test autonomous
Take 5.4 thousand pictures of the robot
Start to play with some drivetrain PID code
And I can't think of anything else, though it really felt like a lot more...
Autonomous shouldn't take too long. I need to just know 2 distances and it should just work off the first try. Or we can wait until Thursday and get a practice field test. I still need to test it anyways just to make sure it works.
Taking pictures is easy - 5 minutes.
Doing the drivetrain PID code, will make going over the bump a bit easier and driving. Will take a while to find something that is good. Hence, programmers need non-chaos.

But yes, you shall get the bot for as long as you need. I think the drive code is extremely important and if it needs to be done before ship, then so it shall be.
Just some things that I think we need to get done in the physical aspect.
Try and really clean the electrical panel Mount the tubing in a way that it's not sticking outside the bot. Remount the former front of the chassis (If we determine that the roller is no longer advantageous)

So be it.

We should try to use those plastic tubes for some of the PWM cables like we did in 2008. We should also change the sprocket for the roller to give it its last chance at life before switching it out.

We can change teh sprocket during the lunch and add backing. We might not have time to test it, but at least we can test it *right* after school.
I think that if we take some of the VEX PWM's that are shorter than the huge ones we are using now, we can *really* clean up some of the carnage on the electrical panel.
