Personally we don't go near robot design for day, and before that, we prototype many ideas first. For example, 2014 year, there was an idea of a catapult and a 'pitching machine' design. We first prototypes these designs, a few days after kickoff, then we designed the robot off of the successful prototypes. And we NEVER design anything on the day of kickoff or even a few days after, only game evaluation for that time.

The real problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do.
