Re: Why Losers Lose?

Well, in many cases the odds are against them... only 3/40+ teams can win an event.

But it all seriousness I think that a lot of team don't take advantage of what they have available to them or do the proper research before building a robot. Chiefdelphi is a wealth of knowledge as well as other teams websites, the "Behind the Design" books.

Losing can also be caused by:
- A lack of a defined goal
- A lack of understanding of the teams abilities*
- A lack of strategy
- A lack of luck

*likely one of the largest factors of all
