Re: Practice bots: OK with rules/spirit of competition?
Our team builds two robots every year. First we build a prototype bot, this is usually finished by week 3, 3 and a half. After we build this bot we use what we learned from building it to build a "flight bot" that we send to the competition. This flight bot is much easier to build because we know exactly what to do. After ship date we use the prototype bot for driver practice. Having a practice bot (and extra driver practice) before regionals is absolutely game changing. I strongly recommend you build one if possible.
