To be totally honest, we were a hardcore team that spent any spare time we had holed up with a laptop or the robot. We made it as far as we could considering the resources we had, it's unfortunate we didn't have more time. And, for a small team that basically taught oursevles robotics with no sponsors and a mentor who was learning with us, we did a hella good job.

We allowed it seeing as how the programmers would sit bored for hourrrrrs while the engineers fixed something. Then when the programming came, 2 second fix and they went back to magic or minecraft.
