True Cory, however, there are some kids that a extremely talented when they are behind the sticks. I know it may be a real long shot at them being Einstein quality drivers but it is still a start.

If any teams have the resources and time to do both a practice bot and a comp bot, the results are far more than improved driver skill. Trade offs like improvised design and integration are great to do with your practice bot because they will help you determine the installation process before changing or adding a system to your competition bot.
