Re: Practice bots: OK with rules/spirit of competition?

Perfectly fine but I would like to share a bit of adbice:

1. Don't starve yourselves of resources to get the second bot done. Make sure you can build one good bot first.

2. The practice bot is for practice. After the main bot ships, you must keep the practice bot as close to the real one as possible, because that's what you'll have to work with at the competition.

I've witnessed what happens when you try to use a "practice bot" along with the withholding allowance to make the six week build season a nine week build season. It doesn't work at all.
