With this, at least, I disagree strongly. For several years in a row, we've had usable software ready well before the robot was assembled. A lot of the "fancy" programming can be written and debugged using a simulator or testbed. For tweaking PID constants and presets you do need an actual robot, but much programming is possible without one. For some problems, all you need is time.
