Re: Poll on winning teams using practice bots
FRC2168 was #1 seed at both NYC and CT (though we were knocked out in the semis do to control system problems) and we do not build a second robot.
Our robot was completed at the end of week 5, and the drivers had a week of fighting over the robot with the programmers. We were then lucky enough to compete at the Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage and win.
Our drivers are trained each year with previous robots and a kitbot that we work on now and then. New "drills" are created to get the drivers used to driving in situations similar to the current game. We take driver training very seriously, and in the offseason practice as least once a week.
While we would like to get to the point where we can build two robots we have not yet reached the support and resources we believe are required.
