We'll definitely try to get some time on a practice field and test as many sensors as we think we might use, so we can use them if we need to.

In 2006 the hardware guys saw how important the auto mode was. So they decided that it was not an option to finish by week 5. They kept the pressure on it and cut out things to make it done by week 5.
I have been in seasons that it wasn’t even finished at the 1st competition and took all of the practice day, then we had times we finished just before time to put it in the crate, then last year finishing at end of week 5. I tell you the team was so much more ready for competition by finishing by week 5.
