Last year we attended MARC for the very first time and got pummeled all day long and came in second to last and it was perfect. Every match we were paired with a great team going against a great team. We learned so much for them and this year I encouraged the drives team to explore the pits and take a look at what the teams are using for their drives systems (I think our choice of going with Mechanums cost us getting picked) to see if they can have input next season on using those designs for our robot.
It's easy to get defensive around elite teams. Many of them seem aloof and stuck up but to be honest the more your around them the more you realize they're just good people. They're just tend to be better organized.
