Re: Simple things you can do to make your bot/team perform better

Alright, this is gonna sound really corny but ...

TEAM SPIRIT!!!

For example, at every event they go to, everyone on team 93 gathers together to watch their matches. Everyone is there, cheering like mad. And at the end, no matter how they did in the match, they gather 'round where the robots come off of the field and cheer for not only 93's drivers and their partners, but for the opposing teams as well. It's neat, fun, and people remember you for it!

Really, no matter how good or bad your robot is, if the whole team is there, watching your matches, cheering like crazy and just having fun everything will be better. From what I've seen, drive teams that have a lot of support tend to do better. Even if that's not the case for your team, at least you'll be having fun! Who knows, maybe you'll even get a spirit award out of it!
