Guess what, your only half way there. Teams forget the human part of this system. Control presentation and driver training are just as critical. You also have to be prepared to devote as many resources to your drivers.

In our case, it is not that we are neglecting the importance of driver training...but this project is a sequential endeavor...we can't program until we have something built mechanically, and we can't train until it is built and programmed. Right now we're trying to get something built - everything else comes afterward. Knowing my team's strengths and weaknesses, though, the programming is going to be our most difficult part by far.
