Re: "The Little Things" - Helpful hints for all
Plan for locations for electronics, compressors, batteries in your design, not as an afterthought.

Good scouting wins matches, great scouting wins competitions.
and related:
Good scouting is not a replacement for a good robot.
But a good robot is also not a replacement for good scouting.

Also in the thread of scouting: if you don't have the resources to scout, because you're a rookie team or have a small team, some other team does, and they are likely to accept the addition of two or three scouts into their scouting team in exchange for data.

And of course, always be graciously professional. GP in winning, GP in losing, GP on and off the field. It will get you further than any robot-related item in FRC.
