Epoxy works great when you use it on it's intended materials that have been properly prepared. It doesn't work work quickly at all and expecting it to hold together for the next match in 20 minutes will never work. It is also a disaster when someone loses the caps to the epoxy and then just puts it into a plastic bag at the bottom of the tool bag.

Trying to speed hole extruded Aluminum will just result in bad things.

Based off this year's experience with mini bots, don't use Tetrix motors and expect them not to fry.

Make sure to pack your controls.

Not robot related but..don't let someone handle the bookkeeping if the have no accounting knowledge. Make sure someone goes over said books before the night that the sponsorship application is due.
