Re: TEAM 1699 BUILD CONCEPT!
Two Indiana teams spring to mind from 2007 - 45 built two Rack bots (I believe one was kit and one was spare parts) which allowed them to practice driving & programming through March. This led to their victory at St. Louis and a very close call at the Boilermaker Regional.
234 bought two kits as I recall, with the intention of allowing the upstart POWER team to use the secondary bot. They not only won the BMR but gained a ton of awards.
For teams fortunate enough to do so, building two robots is certainly beneficial.
