So Close!!!!

We are so close, our team doesn't have anymore meetings until kick off, and the anticipation is driving me crazy. Now I know everyone has talked about what they think the game will be, but i have a question for ya'll.

What mistakes did your team make last year that you will correct this year?

Ok, for our team, a couple things. First of all, NO CASTORS!!! That hurt us pretty bad, oh, and starting out with simple ideas. We tend to dream up all of these complicated unrealistic ideas in the beggining and then ending up with a basic robot that does ok.(Which I am sure a lot of teams do)

We had to remake the frame four times and each time it got simpler and simpler. If we started out with a simple concept, we would have had a lot more time to work out the kinks.

*Sigh*

But, I guess it is all apart of the learning experience, how about you?
