Everyone has code or mechanical issues in their first regional -- and most teams only go to one regional (especially rookies) so I don't see any correlation.

You don't necessarily "assume', but you might hope. I could give you numerous examples of robots that finally got the bugs out late, and then won the whole thing (with their alliances help of course). I can think of 2/4 division champion alliances last year that had such a partner.
You can expect to see the the same old same old again this weekend! Another set of fantastic experiences for thousands of kids across the country. And once again, Mission Accomplished. - Aidan F. Browne [more]
