Now thats an idea I had not thought of doing. It will satisfy their urges to build without the pressures of failure.

Once again, an idea for what they can do while at the competition. We could draft them as scouts since we are helping them out and it is always nice to cheer

Excellent points that I will share with them as I continue to sell this idea. Driver practice and protobot to play with early in the following year's build.
