Really at this point all you need is one guy and an hour or so to write all the basic code for the bot. Any more advanced stuff will take another couple of hours. It would be nice to have a team of programmers instead working around the clock like the rest of the team, trying to figure things out.

There's a lot for programmers to work on right now. It's often useful to compensate for mechanical quirks your robot may have, or to streamline your control system. If nothing else, there's plenty of work to be done on autonomous mode. If your team can afford sensors, they open up new possibilities and improve the accuracy of your existing code. Accelerometers, gyros, optical sensors, pots, and prox sensors all help. At the very least, you could always create dead reckoning programs.
