Source Control allows you to track multiple design paths safely (person A is implementing feature X, person B is testing feature Y), as well as have safe, simple backups of your files. Especially if you need to jump back several times to fix a bug.
TL;DR: Use source control. It may seem to be more than needed, but it can save you at competition.

I know, and I wouldn't exactly reccomend it for large programming teams, but I find the complexity of subversion servers to be a little pointless for a project as small FRC. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like just manually saving would be faster than going through the server and especially for retrieving old forms.

Yet using a version control system that's distributed - such as HG - gives you the benefit of being able to read exactly which changes were made, and when, with diffs, without the annoying difficulty of setting up an SVN server.

It really is not that complex to set up a subversion server. I did a session in 2009 in Atlanta that explains what you need and gives some detail how to do it. You can find the slides at: http://thinktank.wpi.edu/article/158

Once you start using it you will never go back to your old way...
