A clone would allow you to run hundreds of test autonomous runs so you could get it perfect. But considering that the playing field is different from your test field to competiton. For that matter the carpet will change from the begining of the practice rounds to the finals. Also just putting 130 lbs of mass on your bot wouldn'r work because the load on each wheel would be different on your final bot. So I'm not sure how much you could perfect a program.
As for practicing driving it would definately help. It would also let you beat the robot until it broke so you can see where to make improvemnts so you don't break the real thing in the middle of a match.
