Also, save off all your variable that you need to a logfile. I've done this the past 2 years. You can write an octave script that will make graphs out of the solutions. Also, you can REPRINT your solutions onto the corresponding image. This was really cool. We went out with a cart with a computer and camera during calibration and saved images 10 times a second, then created a "video" that we could show in the pits to curious students and mentors and show the judges it working on the field.

Also, if you can, go to another regional you are not competing at and take pictures so you can get an idea of what to expect at your regional. We have also done this for the past 2 years.
