Exactly. Lack of time. Less successful teams squander their time like it was free.

Every year, I find that no student can fabricate a(n) _____ as fast as I can. This coming year (2012) MY personal focus will be on getting our returning students (who are more awesome than usual) to become as fast as I am.

Sure there are - everyone who didn't win is by definition a loser. You can stink at building robots, and lose because of it. Just slapping together the minimum is NOT winning. Sorry.

One of my pet peeves is when someone makes a speech at an FRC competition and states "You are all winners". Wrong. Just as in life, we are NOT all winners, or we wouldn't bother competing.
