For our robot at least... the pieced together panels weren't all that great.. the carpet wasn't the same as at the real comps, and it didn't allow our anchors to attached to the ground well. Plus we took up a chuck of it with us at one point.

Also, the plywood driver stations seemed higher than the FIRST diamond plating, and our average height players couldn't even see the robot until it got into the second endzone when in normal competitions you could lean a bit and see it. With rookie drivers it made it hard, because they had that much less time to see they were heading a little crooked...

The controls system seemed alright... as long as you remember to set you channel correctly.
