Evan, a mechanical mentor for FIRST Robotic Competition's 3132 'Thunder Down Under', outlines the processes involved in designing, building and testing a robot in six weeks.

What influences the team in their design and building processes?

Can you think of anything else that might influence the design and build of the robot other than what Evan has listed?
