We aren't in the district model and built a practice robot for the first time last year. We didn't manage our time as well as we should have and ran into rushing to complete the competition bot near the end of the 6 weeks. We also had quirks pop up on the competition robot that we didn't have on the practice bot.

The biggest thing it gave us was more drive team practice and the ability to iterate between events. Without it we wouldn't have been able to add can grabbers or practice with our ramp, both which were added mid-season.

We have already decided we will be building 2 again this year. Once we go to the district model we may not because of the un-bag windows.
