I can't see the pictures now, I guess whoever is running the server has it down.

But regardless of how it looks, if it moves, and you have a good driver, you have a chance.

My old team, 247, had a very ugly bot. Seriously, it looked like a shopping cart with duct tape. What'd they win? Rookie All-Star at a regional and were finalists.

Don't fret that your robot is junk unless it doesn't work. If it doesn't work, ask other teams for help. Last year with 247 we didn't have enough traction with what we had on our wheels. Team 68, Truck Town Thunder, had some really good stuff they used on their treads. We asked if we could use about 3' of it and they gave it to us. What happened from there? Semi-Finalists (losing to Truck Town and their alliance).. Next regional? Finalists (with Truck Town as an alliance member).

If other teams have resources (people, materials, knowledge) to spare, almost every single one of them will be willing to loan it out.

You gotta still have hope and get as much practice as you can in.
