Re: The Use Of Practice Robots At Off Season Events

Every time we won, our most competitive robot won.

Especially when we only had 11 students, competing with multiple robots actually made competing much harder and more difficult; everyone was stretched really thin.

Entering more robots that are less capable than the first (often mechanically less capable, in worse shape, driven by lesser/new drivers, etc...) doesn't really increase chances of winning for our team. The cost of running more robots (especially on batteries) far outweighs the slight numbers advantage.
