That is until we programmers design simulations to test our bots before they're constructed.

Our programmers on our team play the Jack of All Trades role on the robot construction and design, and then tucker down to sleepless nights to get the code working for our designs.

Most of our mentors on our team are also programmers, so no programmer on our team feels unappreciated or neglected being that we are the ones getting all the attention on the team.

Interestingly, as well as getting attention, it's the programmers on our team that are expected to be social, giving presentations and schmoozing with sponsors to demonstrate our knowledge, even though most of us are more comfortable in front of a monitor in a dark room for 18 hrs a day than even having a simple conversation with another person.
