Our intent was to make our 2011 robot into a semi-practice bot if we had the resources, but not build a complete replica of the bag'n'tagged bot. With money being tighter than we had anticipated we're not going to see that happen.

It does "feel" unfair that other teams might have their sponsors manufacture two of everything for them, and get two or three weeks practicing/modifying a perfect copy of the competition bot. But thats just the world we live in.

I firmly believe that if a team has a truly good idea, and makes it a reality, they don't need a practice bot.
