Just my $0.02
Some teams don't have the mentors with programming experience who can help them solve the challenge. That's why forums like ChiefDelphi exist. But the information here is best put to use during the six-week build.

Let's empower and educate those who wouldn't normally try autonomous or hybrid programming to learn about such techniques NOW and inspire them to incorporate such functionality into their code. Then these students WILL take ownership of the knowledge prior to the regionals and will be more confident in using and tweaking THEIR code at the competitions.

It's easier to ensure no teams will be left behind if you find out who needs a jump start at the BEGINNING of the race....
