Your team can still do well, still learn a TON, and still have alot of fun at the competitions. Do the simple things -- such as transport empty cells and herd moonrocks for your alliance -- and do them well. Use the KOP to its fullest, follow instructions anywhere you can find them, and meet 3 times a week for a few hours each time.

A lightweight robot with a simple strategy will still have a TON of fun in this game since there's a viable strategy for it and it will be one of the more responsive/faster robots out there.
