Re: "Robot Access Periods"
During our Robot Access Periods last year we mainly focused on autonomous testing.
The six hours before each competition gave me enough time to improve our autonomous routines, turning our 4ish disk autonomous at Hatboro to consistent six disk autonomous at TCNJ.
We did not have a practice robot so this time was very important for us. If we had a practice robot I could have improved the autonomous even more. A six hour window doesn't seem to justify not building a practice robot, although it certainly helps teams that do not. Your team should probably build one anyway if you can.
I'm not sure how the withholding allowance rules work. They seemed somewhat vague. We didn't make any physical changes to our robot during the access periods for those rules to affect us. I would like some more clarification on this.
