Team 340 Update

I figured I'd make a short post about where we are with our robot.

Both drive trains are done, one will be our competition bot and one will be an identical practice bot. Last week, programmers finished their code for driving the robot with xbox360 controllers. This will be the first year since 2000 that our robot won't be driven by joysticks. Another cool feature is the arcade style drive. It takes a little getting used to but once you have it, you won't want to go back.

Our super structure and scoring mechanism are almost done and by the end of the day Saturday we *should* have 2 scoring robots. Our ball acquisition group is little behind but i'm sure good progress will be made on Saturday. I might make a post Saturday night with some pictures. Tweet @jmontois340 to remind me. I'll probably forget. Have a great weekend everyone.
