- Pre-match checklists and pre-flight tests are always necessary. It doesn't matter how well your robot ran in the last match, check everything again. This goes the same for post-match checks.

- Driver training can never be overvalued, and is very commonly undervalued.

- Never stop learning. There is something you can learn from every team, every student, every mentor, you talk to.

- "Custom" does not always mean "better".

- Every student should be knowledgable on every part of the robot. A software student should be able to explain any mechanical part on the robot as well as a mechanical student can explain any other part.

- Take time and design something right the first time. Tweaking should be done to improve, not to make something work.
