Adding to this, I would have preferred metal springs on the robot instead of the elastic spring we used. It was too sensitive to heat difference (even between practice field and game field) and required a huge amount of effort to keep dialed in. I also would have gone to 6WD sooner in the year, rather than waiting until Championships to make the swap. Passing was key, and we didn't design for it.
Oh, and our bumpers + bumper mounts were trash all year long, even after 4x iterations between events.
