This. Even in FTC, teams or at least my team neglect the programming portion and focus mostly on building the robot. I also feel nervous about going to a competition because the programming is incomplete and my team is unprepared. Sometimes one has to take more control in order to get something done. Once it is off season there is much opportunity to be prepared for the next season.
Just remember,
FIRST is much more than the robots.
