Re: What to work on for Worlds as a rookie team?
I think that the OP was asking about getting ready to do another run at RAS, not getting picked for playoffs. If that's the case, all of the advice above applies - make sure that you have a person or people that can articulate various aspects of your team - the business side, the community involvement side, AND the technical side.

Notice that I put technical last. Not being a judge but having read the description for the award, I think that technical merits are the least important for RAS. They want to hear a story about how your team is engaging the community, how your team got sponsorships, what's the business plan for the team, things like that. To me, robot performance is secondary in winning RAS (not saying that it doesn't matter at all, but it's a secondary consideration to the others).

Good luck in St. Louis, both on the field and off! I'm a scorer on a field (won't know which one til I get there, I guess...), so perhaps I'll get to see you compete!
