No insult taken....I get a chuckle out of some of the assumptions about teams competing at different levels.
We build the robots so they won't break easily, and when we make mistakes and have to fix things, we deal with it as necessary. One year we made a few spare assemblies for stuff we thought might get broken, of course the spares were not needed, we had to fix other stuff instead.
This year we are bringing only a couple pounds of "fabricated items" in with us. It's mostly due to laziness.
