AGREED... much better experience if they have _their own_ running bot...
We'd LOVE to help _any_ FRC pre-Rookie team build a "kit-bot" to compete at TRR... I hope we get asked to do this...
We pretty much did this in one day at Dallas-East with a Rookie team and it contributed to our winning EI award there... we also had a student win Dean's List at Alamo based on the strength of 3 season's aiding Rookie and struggling FTC teams and starting a team for disabled-teens...
We were FRC "pre-Rookie" just 17 months ago... and two weeks ago we were 3 matches from Einstein... and it's no secret that we owe our successes to 148 Robowranglers who took us under their wing and greatly affected/enabled our team to dream big and realize goals...
We'd LOVE to try to do the same for an FRC Rookie team... but, we have to get the call/email requesting help first...
