Here's my opinion. Each FRC robot is unique, and each has a large number of parts. Other than control system issues the problems that teams experience with their specific robots are usually widely varying and the solutions to any common problems likely depend on the specific design.

My advice would be to identify any parts of your robot that you think you may have trouble with and determine how you would work on/fix that part. I also recommend that you bring a variety of tools and materials to work on problems that you did not foresee.

My final piece of advice is don't be afraid to ask for help. If you run into an issue or problem you don't know how to fix, many of the veteran teams will be more than willing to lend a hand if you ask.
