If you find yourself in a situation where your robot isn't completed, when you get to competition ASK FOR HELP. Virtually EVERY team will fall over themselves to help you get your robot working and inspected. Don't be shy.

My first year, the team next to us in the pits either built their robot from scratch cause they did the same thing or their bot broke in transit. Heard of both happening before. Practice day might as well be the Wednesday after Bag and Tag. Even those veteran, super team types are tweaking and modifying.
