I know this would've helped my team in 2012, we used horrible time estimates for each task to be completed and we underestimated how many points could potentially be scored!
That's really interesting. I hadn't thought about that before, but this year -- especially with passing -- it would have been cool to see just how long/easily/consistently robots can realistically pass a ball between them. Our team is hoping to host a day near the end of Build Season that we can assemble a field and test with multiple teams, and that'll be our first time being able to see how the game is played without just guessing.
