Re: Do you think a practice robot is needed to compete?

The last week of build season, we decided to go ahead and build one this year for the first time. A materials sponsor came through for us by doubling their donation, so we could make it happen. We built an exact duplicate, minus outer coverings and a roboRIO (they shared to save money) in two days. It made a huge difference in our competitiveness, and we were much more successful than in previous years. It wasn't the only factor, more like one of three or four changes we made, but enough that we will definitely continue.
