End of Build Season: Comparison and EDP Post Build Season Conclusion

As compared to the past years, we went at a pace more than twice as fast.  While in past years we have only bagged everything but the main mechanism, which needed work, this year we bagged a fully working robot that could play the game, and built two different practice robots that were both functional, in addition to anodizing one of the robots.  Overall, the Engineering Design Process was worth it, as it was a lot more organized than past years, and is not too heavily affected by time, which has an effect inversely proportional to the preparation of the people within the group.  Because we were fairly prepared this year, we did not really have that much of a problem with the time restraint, and, as we have been getting more and more prepared, we have gotten further and further in the process as a whole of building a bot.

In terms of my hypothesis about the Engineering Design Process, it is basically the same as my current conclusion of the Engineering Design Process.

In terms of everything else that will be happening, and seeing other robots and so on, most things will just be confirmations of our conceptual design process.  All that is left is to get the results for the performance of the product, and that will conclude my project.
