As mentioned above, make your electronics easily accessible and strategically place them. At the Las Vegas competition last year, our robot was small and lightweight. Our electronics were so scrunched up, it was hard for more than one person to work on it. Also, the shooter motors were in the way to make some arrangements. Also, place electronic components strategically to ease confusion. Place the motor controllers near the motors themselves, or at least in the direction of the motor. If you are arranging your motor controllers in a square, have the front left drive motor in the front left, etcetera. Also, think about overheating. We didn't have a problem with this because we had an overall good electronics arrangement, if too many electronics are in a too small, enclosed space, they will overheat. Also, if you are using a coprocessor, like a Raspberry Pi or an oDroid, place it so you can cool it very effectively. That way, you will be able to overclock it more without worrying about heat damage.

Also, VERY IMPORTANT:
DO NOT CUT CORNERS! Do everything completely and don't skip steps, like skipping wearing safety goggles when testing a shooter prototype. Things happen and it is a mess!

Also, keep plenty of time to debug on your robot. You should spend at least an entire build season day debugging code and making sure it works. Make sure the entire team knows what you're doing, even if it isn't what they don't do. For example, if you are putting vision tracking, let the team know how you wish to tackle it. Not only will people be more comfortable with you doing it, but people who have done it before may step up and offer you a helping hand

As mentioned before, know every part of the robot. I, myself, am very curious and like to go to other team members who do not seem that busy at the moment and ask what their robot does and how it works. This also improves the reputation of the team.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING:
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
GRACIOUS PROFFESIONALISM: Engineers must have a good amounts of this. It is what brings them forward and gets people to like them
Shake hands with others at competiotions
Cheer other teams even if they are an opponent
Be nice and welcome others' ideas.
Offer a helping hand to anyone who needs help. This could be just getting a tool for them.
Tell the Truth! Do not give someone a false positive. That could be catastrophic

NEVER BOO OR MAKE CYNICAL REMARKS. It probably is anyways against the rules, but if it isn't, never make fun of a robot or say anything rude or bad. That team spent it's time working on it's robot and they should be recognized!

This all above, I wish to implement to my behavior this year
