Apologies in advance since I've never done FRC before, this could be an obvious question that everyone but me knows the answer to. I see lots of pictures and threads about people building their new drive base and what not during the off-season but how can they know what to build before the January game release? What if you're a rookie team and don't have a KOP from last season? Are you at a disadvantage before you even start?
Maybe it's better to start an unofficial team in the off-season and just buy the same stuff as the previous season KOP then you'd have some experience pre-kickoff plus you could, well, pre-build your drive base like all the other teams seem to do! Or does the game vary enough to force a chassis design change at kickoff? My observation is the same basic drive base seems to have been in the KOP for a few years.
Probably just proven I have no clue....
