In the beginning the practice bot was built second almost an afterthought. For the last couple of years we have built the practice bot first. The comp bot is built from cadded plans and templating from the practice bot at the end of build season. The builder are developing their build skills on the practice bot. That allows the apprentice builders to actually put hands on a robot during build season. The cad model is 60-70% complete which I think is about ideal unless you have a set of Cad mentors that can really guide the students. This method add so much to the program goals, I think we would follow it even if bag and tag went away. We harvest parts off practice bot year to year to help with the cost.
