Is this a trick question? You practice with it. You give your drivers a chance to get really good before the first competition. You can use the fix-it windows to tweak your software and get it working exactly as you want on real hardware. You prototype upgrade parts that you can then fabricate either during a fix-it window or at competition.

A clonebot that stays at home after you ship the competition 'bot can be a powerful advantage if used well.
