The programmer can work with the robot to prefect the program
The programmer doesn't have much time to work with the robot during build time becuase that is the main thing thats going on. BUILDING. With this extra time the drivers and learn the controls you program and you can make your program look good.
Sorry, but it seems that you may not program after the end of the fix-it window (5:00 PM on Thursday, February 24):

Teams may scout other teams, gather and exchange information, develop game-playing strategies, collect raw materials, prepare tool kits, plan how to make repairs, etc. in preparation for the upcoming competitions. But no construction or fabrication is allowed.
Pros: Practice for drivers and learning weaknesses/strengths of competition robot.

Cons: My brain is so fried after the build period that I can't think up any more strategies. lol
