A practice robot is a great way to keep a lot of students involved throughout and beyond build season, as we have learned. Through donations, contests, FIRST Choice, and remarkably little cash, we can run 3 separate control systems like 1678 and should the opportunity ever arise, we would build a third robot. I loved watching student engagement soar this year through a marginal expense when compared to a registration fee. I would *almost* recommend teams deciding between multiple events or multiple robots to pick the latter.
