Great job getting it running, that's more than many rookies accomplish all season. Now take it a step further, run it into the wall, drive it off a 12" ledge, try to push an immovable object. Your robot will have to withstand all these in competition and you're better off finding any faults now than at your first regional. Don't treat the robot like it's fragile, your opponents won't give you the same treatment. Our rookie year we were content with simply driving, then we got to competition and were useless because our drivetrain wasn't strong enough. Continue to beef up your drive system until it's solid enough to not worry about anymore.
