No, FIRST is a soccer game. There is an old saying that "football is a gentleman’s game played by hooligans, and rugby is a hooligans’ game played by gentlemen".

Brendan has touched on something here that no one else has picked up on yet. Not only does it take more time, there has to be more effort put into it to ensure your tolerances. A practice robot does no good if it is not a copy of your competition bot. You need to perfect your building skills so you can make two things alike. That's not an easy endeavor.
