There is kind of a 'slippery slope' from just official matches, to also off-season events, to also practice matches at official events, to also practice time. Honestly though, I have no good estimate for how many practice matches we played and how much practice time was on our 'competition' robot vs our 'practice' robot.
This was a great (boring?) season for our team in the pits... Early on we had to add/adjust a few things to tighten our elevator belts, but once tensioned at UMass Dartmouth correctly they were good. After that it was really just the additional features we added.

It sounds like you remember our 2008 season? Wear was hardly a concern for our robot(s) that year, though...
