Re: why blame the programmers??
During a couple of years, the TechnoKats build schedule included explicit "programming has priority" time one evening each week. No mechanical work was to be done on the robot that evening, except for repairs when the software broke something. It worked out pretty well.
This year we dug our 2007 practice 'bot chassis out of the robot graveyard hall of fame, replaced a couple of wheels, and wired it up with a cRIO control system. It's a perfect software playground. I'm a little worried that this year's competition 'bot won't be ready for wiring up anytime soon, but as soon as it is, we'll have software ready to go.
