At a lower ny event you could probably win with an Ri3d build. In fact I believe in all of lower ny (around 100 teams) only one team builds a practice robot.

Now if your talking winning svr, or dallas, or waterloo then yes to win you pretty much need a practice robot. Less with dallas because of the time but you get the point.

This year we are making a prototype bot so we will have something to drive around after bag day but, Idk if I would call it a practice bot. If however we have a simple robot we might change stuff up and have a full fledged practice robot. The biggest obstacle is money especially since we will have to buy another kop drive train (missed the opt out period).

Overall no at most events.
