What? That sounds like a complete disaster!
Another way is building your robot completely, then in a practice match, run the autonomous code, that you have never tested (enough said) [our team did this, and our robot ran into the center divider, and the battery plug came undone, and we didn't know why our robot wasn't working until after the match.
